Consider something else if…
- Fastly: Traffic is modest — the $1,500/month entry plan for dedicated network services is priced for scale a smaller site won't reach, where a pay-as-you-go CDN has no equivalent floor.
- Bunny CDN: Traffic skews heavily to the Middle East or Africa — the regional rate there is six times the Europe/North America price.
