This is really cool. Up to the section on Advanced Features, it seemed like a clone of Cloudflare's cdnjs. But the multiple request feature is absolutely terrific, and I can't wait to use it.

EDIT: I wonder if the multiple-request URL's mean that the individual assets won't be cached, which is a big selling point of CDN's.

Grouped URLs are cached as always but for less time. You can check the headers.
I think the parent's point is that people will less likely to have a warm cache because it's less likely any other site has requested the exact same group of files.

(Though there's debate as to how much that matters.)

Personally I think they only file that is going to be already cached is jQuery from Google. So for the rest it doesn't matter. Just my opinion.
