vb.org Archive - Serving static content from cookieless domain

Hello

I have a problem with optimizing my vBulletin 4.0.3 Forum.

my forum runs on Patientenfragen.net - wir haben die Antworten

I have created 6 subdomains for static content (Images only currently)

http://static1.patientenfragen.net/
http://static2.patientenfragen.net/

I have set the cookie domain for my forum in the acp cookie settings to use patientenfragen.net as cookie domain instead of .patientenfragen.net

In my understanding this should exclude the subdomains from using the vbulletin cookie.

On the subdomains there is no single html nor php file.

Only the images and a htaccess with the following content:

Code:

AddDefaultCharset Off 

FileETag None



ExpiresActive On

<IfModule mod_expires.c>

ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000

ExpiresByType image/png A2592000

ExpiresByType image/jpg A2592000

ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000

ExpiresByType image/x-icon A2592000

ExpiresByType text/plain A2592000

ExpiresByType text/css A2592000

ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A2592000

ExpiresByType application/pdf A2592000

ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash A2592000

</IfModule>

After clearing my browser cache, apc cache and delete all cookies from my website in my browser PageSpeed still tells me that the static... subdomains serve cookies.

The cookies still served for .patientenfragen.net are:
- lastvisit
- np_notices_displayed
- lastactivity
- sessionhash
- cpsession
- userid
- password

as well as the google analytics cookies
- _utma
- _utmb
- _utmc
- _utmz

I use the analytics code suggested by digitalpoint and changed .domain.com to domain.com:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

google_analytics_uacct = "UA-XXXXX-X";google_analytics_domain_name =  "patientenfragen.net";var _gaq = _gaq || [];_gaq.push(['_setAccount',  'UA-XXXXX-X'],['_setDomainName',  'patientenfragen.net'],['_trackPageview']);(function() {var ga =  document.createElement('script');ga.type = 'text/javascript';ga.async =  true;ga.src =  'http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js';(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]  || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);})();

</script>

How can I fix this?

Best regards

Solved the problem by defining www.patientenfragen.net as cookie domain.

Just in case some people have the same issue :)

If anyone thinks that the above move is not a good Idea I am all ears, currently I can't see a downside to it
