Google has quietly started offering Google Cloud CDN service, a new content-delivery network (CDN) that should appeal to independent developers who want their applications to load quickly.
For its "alpha" release, Google is now accepting applications from people who want to try the new service, which is limited in geographical availability. More locations will be added when the service becomes generally available.
"Google Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) uses Google's globally distributed edge caches to cache HTTP(S) Load Balanced content close to your users," the product description states. "Caching content at the edges of Google's network provides faster delivery of content to your users while reducing the load on your servers."

Any website will be slower through tor than without tor. A CDN, if it's not being perverse, ought to serve from a point of presence near the tor exit node. That's better than without the CDN. Since users of tor experience much greater latencies than do regular folks, the improvement will be less dramatic.
