Being that SmarterMail is web based I think this would work. The only downside would be if a company prevents users from accessing the Internet but in today's world I think that is not an issue. If it is then there should be an OPTION for users having access to the internet or not (keep as is today). What I propose is using a CDN or Content Delivery Network. Everyone talks about speed. I know partially everyone complains about local servers. What if we offload some of the files and bandwidth on those servers? 

 

The key here is SmarterTools (SmarterMail) is already using a CDN for the Google Fonts so let's expand upon it.

 

Looking at the source for just the main page I see the following that could easily be CDN and there are probably more than what I am seeing that would benefit. Being I know they use BootStrap that also would benefit. Using a CDN will also make it speed up if they used a standard CDN as many sites already use a CDN which would in-turn make SmarterMail faster.

 

- Google Fonts

   - https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,400i,600,700

   - https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto

- Font Awesome - /interface/lib/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css
- Angular

   - /interface/output/angular-v-16.3.6467.18244.8d4fc21f031d300.js

   - /interface/output/vendor-v-16.3.6467.18244.8d4fc21f031d300.js

   - /interface/output/site-v-16.3.6467.18244.8d4fc21f031d300.js

- /interface/output/login-v-16.3.6467.18244.8d4fc21f031d300.min.css

 

Any CSS overrides can be local and after everything else.

 

This would benefit SmarterTools as well as they would know people are using the right files.
