Of course we use YSlow, and as you might have noticed - we implemented most of the advices on the site already. However it's not an easy task with the player. To say the least - we serve player off a CDN. This means we HAVE to have this particular redirect to update stats & linkbacks. Otherwise the HTTP request for the player would go straight to an external service provider, leaving us in the void as to hard numbers. Please keep me informed if there's anything else we (at Viddler) should know. No man is perfect, and we always learn. Thanks a lot, Axe Aral,

We are using the redirect (similar to youtube and others) because we push out new versions and want the newest version to update users cache. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on this as we are looking to make this player as versatile, light, and quick as possible. Rob Hi Aral –
