      Most browsers limit the number of simultaneous connections to a particular host. Allowing static resources to be served from a different host may increase performance.

            This request is considered a potential addition to our longer-term roadmap.
            We'll typically review this request in about 12 months time, at which point we’ll consider whether we need to alter its status.

            Cheers,

            Based on my Support-Request https://support.atlassian.com/browse/CSP-62984 I believe that the delivering of static content (images, css-files, js-files, attachments, ...) from the webserver (first tier, in a Multitier architecture) will have a massive improvement of the performance.

            An example set-up could look like this

            From my point of view, there are many different solutions possible to achieve this target.

            Here are some example solutions:

            1. X-Sendfile
            2. try_file
            3. mod_rewrite => '-s' (is regular file, with size)
            4. Url Aliases nginx apache httpd
            5. and a lot of other possibilities depend on web server

            Some of the solutions above do not scale well with NAS Set-ups ( e.g. sendfile based solutions)


            To make the above possible the application server (jira, confluence, …) must offer the option to stage out defined content to the file system.

            From my point of view there are different solutions possible for the appserver.

            Here are some example solutions:

            1. manual staging based on User wish (e.g.: staging button)
            2. automatic staging based onUpdate event
            3. automatic staging based on time-stamp (e.g. Service)
            4. automatic staging based on Version (e.g. Service)

            I prefer the first two options from a user point of view .

            The second solution has some pitfalls.
            For example when a user makes temporary saves for his content.

            I would be happy if atlassian products could offer such options to increase the performance.
