By utilizing content delivery networks (CDN)s, you will potentially receive several benefits including improved performance, gains from using different domains, pre-cached files, high-capacity infrastructure and distributed data centers. A CDN can distribute the load, save bandwidth, and boost performance. As individual users request static resources such as javascript and stylesheets, browsers limit the number of concurrent connections (or file downloads) to a single domain at a given time, thus allowing users to download additional requests. Additionally, many CDNs provide localized data centers which are closer to the user, and faster to download. For example, if you are browsing your application's site in San Francisco and need to download the javascript or stylesheets, assuming the CDN has a datacenter in California, it would utilize that location to download the file opposed to making the round trip to your local servers (e.g. could be hosted across the country).

If there is a need to move sites and subsites into another site within the same web application, this can be easily performed using the "Site Manager". Often times, this option is over-looked, in favor of site templates, or other backup and restore operations. However, this is the simplest option available. Note: This site is available on "SharePoint Online or Office 365 Dedicated" as well as any stand-alone SharePoint installation, on the basis that you activate the Publishing Features within SharePoint. If you visit "http://enter_your_site_url/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx", you'll see the Site Manager, where you can do a move operation of all pages and sub-sites. Select the parent site of the sub-site you want to move in the left navigation pane. Check the box next to the sub-site you want to move in the right pane. Click the Actions drop-down and click Move . Select Destination of the sub-site selected in the next dialog. SharePoint Sta...

Occasionally, when deploying SharePoint Solutions (WSP) directly from Visual Studio, you will receive the following error. Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': A feature with ID {Guid} has already been installed in this farm. Use the force attribute to explicitly re-install the feature. This error occurs when you have a previously defined feature installed, as part of the same solution, which will trigger the error. To overcome this issue, you can open the feature (double-click) which is part of your actual project, and you will see the properties window come into focus. In this window, you will see details, such as title, description, scope, items in the feature. In the property window, you'll see an option titled 'Always Force Install'. By default, this item is set to "false". If you set this option to "true", it will over-write the feature each time the project is installed. SharePoint Stack Exchange
