Load balancing multiple CDNs or how jsDelivr works
Just wrote this article about jsDelivr. A lot of LowEnd providers sponsor jsDelivr so I think they might find it interesting too.

A new awesome feature is now in beta. You can now load multiple js files over a single HTTP request with the full speed of jsDelivr CDN.
Check it out and report bugs at https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr/issues/182

Thank you
So wait, do you work for MaxCDN?
Yes, I was hired after I started the jsDelivr project. But it is still completely owned by me. MaxCDN has nothing to do with jsDelivr other than sponsoring free traffic and some promotion.
Ah, I was wondering about that. I thought MaxCDN now owned jsDelivr.
Nope, they are a sponsor like the rest. Its a good thing because they cant influence the project to promote their services in cost of total performance and uptime.
But its a bad thing because I can't afford to invest a lot of money into the project (freelancers, services, hosting... ), if they owned it they could give me a budget that would help a lot.
Anyway the project is mine and I hope it will grow even bigger with the help of the community and sponsors.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
