splitting the site up into subdomains

Recommended Posts

Im trying to make my website as fast loading as possible.

 

I have over 6,000 visitors a day.

 

Im thinking of splitting the site up into subdomains for images, includes etc

 

images.site.com

includes.site.com

 

Does this help with security and does this increase speed. I know alot of larger site use this method.  Any thoughts??

There is a limit to the number of concurrent connections per domain, so it could improve the loading speed, but not if you do it excessively. You can also setup the one domain which will point to static content with a lightweight httpd such as lighttpd to make those things load faster.
