Remote Stylesheet

A Remote Stylesheet Resource is a file that is no located within your template but is rather hosted on an external web server (generally called a "CDN"). When generating Web output, these files are referenced in the web page's header and are served by the remote server, not by the PlanetPress Connect Server module.

To add a remote stylesheet, right-click in the Stylesheet folder of the Resources Pane, and click New Remote Stylesheet. The following dialog appears:

• Name: Enter a name for the file as it appears in the Stylesheet resources. For better management, it's best to use the same filename as the remote resource.
• URL: Enter the URL for the remote resource. This must be a full URL, including the http:// or https:// prefix, domain name, path and filename.

There are a few advantages to remote resources:

• These resources are not served by your server, saving on space, bandwidth and processing.
• Using a popular CDN takes advantage of caching - a client having visited another website using that same CDN will have the file in cache and not re-download it making for faster load times for the client.

Popular hosted frameworks on CDN networks:

• jQuery on MaxCDN
• Zurb Foundation on CDNJS
• Bootstrap on MaxCDN
• Multiple frameworks on Google Developers
