Ask HN: Is your blog/website behind a CDN?
9 comments
Wish you would have posted the aggregated results so we could get an idea.
I suspect if most blogs want to improve their loading time they would have better results getting rid of the 20MB of trackers before breaking the web a little further with stuff like cloudflare.

The load time will be slower as I have to fill out another hCAPTCHA and go through more DDoS hoops.
CDN for my blog? Nope. That adds complexity and gives power to CDNs. Besides, CDNs and reverse proxies are blocked by SourceHut Pages anyhow (https://srht.site/limitations).
Using Cloudflare for my WP website which recieves over 2 million visitors a month from around the world. Went from crashihng all the time to hardly ever as Cloudflare became very efficient with its cache system.
I'm using Netlify (free tier). I assumed that it has a CDN and the tool confirms it, thanks!
I'm on Substack with a custom domain. It uses its own CDN hosted on S3 I believe.
I use AWS Amplify, it uses CloudFront under the hood.
I'd like to see dynamic code running on a CDN.
Check out Wasmer Edge... you may find it interesting for deploying things on the Edge with dynamic routing!

Like Cloudflare Workers? https://workers.cloudflare.com/
Dynamic how? Like pages that load content from a database? Typically anything “dynamic” is on the backend, all your static shit (images, videos, sounds, fonts, etc.) are in the front end and on a CDN, which will make calls to your backend, which would be on a VM or in a k8s cluster, which in turn may make database calls.
Yes.
Yes.
Do you have a CDN in front of your websites, HN?
