Make your HTML5 games load FASTER to a GLOBAL audience!
I am going to begin uploading the HTML5 runtimes to a site I own, which is running on a CDN, as updates are released. For now this site will only be used to host Defold HTML5 runtime files. The scripts are all minified automatically by the CDN. I’ll pay for any related costs.
If there is ever an official Defold runtime CDN I would suggest to switch to that instead. If I don’t get a new update up soon enough feel free to ping me here and I’ll try to get it up as soon as I can.
The caching is set to 1 year. It’s also hosted on a global CDN, which means regional users will download faster too. Site runs at HTTPS only. HTTP should be automatically redirected, but best to link to HTTPS version. Only hosting Release versions of the engine runtime. Older versions will never be removed.
For each release these files will be hosted:
defold_dmloader.js
defold_dmengine.js
Can’t host defold_sound.swf because the link to it is hard coded in the runtime. So you will have to host that. (I need to look at how it’s actually loaded internally. I’ll still upload it near the script but I’m pretty sure it’s relative to your project .html will have to look…)
Example of it implemented:
