There are many ways to boost your website’s loading time, such as minimizing HTTP requests, optimizing graphics or making JavaScript and CSS External properly. Those solutions could help reduce the loading time, however, if your web pages have already been optimized, you will almost see no difference. It is too bad if you work hard to produce content and then it can’t reach readers. That’s why many webmasters and bloggers are trying another effective way to speed up websites, that is using Content Delivery Network (CDN) service.
What I will cover today is comparing the best CDN services available in my view. I’m not going to mention free CDN services because we can’t expect much from them and they didn’t work really well in my case. For example, I see many bloggers using CloudFlare, basically this is an advanced cloud-based firewall and it just works like a CDN to deliver content to visitors. I tried it too but soon I realized that the speed wasn’t improved and it is not a genuine CDN service. Therefore, I am going to cover the best paid CDN services as I know, MaxCDN, Google Page Speed CDN and Amazon CloudFront.
MaxCDN
MaxCDN is a very popular and friendly content delivery network. If you are hosting your blog with WordPress, you can use the plug-in W3 Total Cache and set up your site with MaxCDN in less than 10 minutes.
They are offering a special price for the service, you just need to pay as low as $9/month with monthly 100GB bandwidth. The overall fee is quite cheap compared to other services. The cheapest plan, Start, now costs $9/month or $108/year. However, you can reduce the cost by paying for the whole year and using the coupon code MaxCDNcoupon. You will get 25% off and 2 free months, therefore, the overall yearly cost is just $67.

MaxCDN also provides you with free shared SSL, custom domain for the path to the files, Pull Zone and Push Zone to distribute files. There were some complaints that the CDN network has no edge location in Asia, so it can’t optimize site performance for visitors from this area. It is true but it will be solved soon as MaxCDN has already planned on building more 4 edge servers in Asia/Pacific including Hong kong, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
Update: MaxCDN now has an edge location in Singapore, so your site will be served pretty fast for visitors from Asia.
This is the best choice and I highly recommend the service if you really want to improve performance of your website. Their support staff also works really well. You can contact them via phone, email or live chat, the support team will help you solve any issue immediately. If you are worried about the process of setting it up, you can follow my simple tutorial on MaxCDN setup here.
Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFront is probably the most reliable CDN service as it comes from a popular brand. Many people think it would be expensive but it is not in some cases. To get started using the service, you need to store your objects in another Amazon Web Service like Amazon Simple Storage Service or Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. For the storage service, you will need to pay about $0,093 for 1GB monthly. Besides, Amazon CloudFront charges actual usage of the service in the 3 areas: Data Transfer, Requests, and Invalidation Requests. Its pricing varies for each geographic region, you can check out the pricing here. Remember that the price hasn’t included storage, GET requests and data transfer out of your Amazon Web Service to CloudFront’s edge locations. So, normally it could charge you up to $300 for 1TB of bandwidth.
You can see that the bandwidth pricing is quite expensive, therefore, Amazon CloudFront is absolutely not suitable for busy websites. However, if you have a site with low monthly transfer which is less than 10GB per month, this will be a good choice for you. CloudFront delivers content in lower latency in many areas as it uses a network of over 19 edge locations worldwide including 3 in Asia.
Google Page Speed CDN
Google has joined the CDN competition with its Page Speed Service. This is currently offered for free to a limited number of publishers. I had a chance to setup Google Page Speed CDN on my site and this is a good service in my opinion. The loading time of my site has been improved by more than 50%.
However, there are also some downsides of the service:
- You can’t use it on bare domains that don’t include the prefix www, so you must use www.techwalls.com instead of techwalls.com.
- HTTPS pages are not supported.
- Websites hosted on Blogger, Google Sites or Google App Engine are not supported
- Flash, streaming audio and video content and files over 50MB are not supported.
- POST requests greater than 2MB are not supported.
I will also not recommend this service if you are using shared hosting, somehow my account was suspended after trying Google Page Speed.
The pricing details of Google CDN service hasn’t been available yet, however, they promised that it will be very competitive. So we can expect this will be another good choice for bloggers and webmasters.
Have you tried a CDN service on your website? What do you think about the performance of your website after using it? Which service will you recommend us?

Ileane says
Hey Tuan, I’m so behind on looking into this so I really need to take a look. Thanks introducing these services to us and sharing the links.
Tuan Do says
You are welcome, Ileane.
You should take a look at the services as you have a much more popular blog than mine. I am experimenting with these services and they are all working very well. I am running this site on MaxCDN and it is pretty easy to set up, do you see the change in the loading time of my site?
Zinovsky says
Tuan, as i understood you stopped using Google Page Speed CDN and you moved to Max CDN, can i know the reason? I’m actually using max CDN and few days ago i was approved to use Google Page Speed CDN. I afraid to switch since google service still under Beta.
Could you please advise?
Thanks
Tuan Do says
Hi Zinovsky,
Actually I am still using Googe CDN service on one of my site for experiment and it is working really well in my opinion. The reason that I don’t use it on my main sites is because the service is still under beta and Google seems not to concentrate on developing it, so it could be stopped any time. Another reason is we can’t be sure about the price of the service when it gets official. Therefore, I recommend you not to change to Google CDN at the moment.
Zinovsky says
Thanks Tuan, i was thinking the same, is still beta so better not to use it with large websites.
Thanks again :)
Alvin Lim says
Hi Tuan. Your blog load instantly in less than 3 seconds. Repeated view is 1 second. That is amazing speed. Actually I am looking for an affordable CDN services. May I know if the server like hostgator is down, can the CDN service continue to serve the web pages? Thanks for sharing this.
Tuan Do says
Hi Alvin.
As the nameservers of your domain are still pointing to Hostgator, your site still can’t be reached when the hosting is down. However, you don’t need to worry much as I see the uptime of HostGator is very high, and when it becomes overloaded, your content are still be served very fast.
Daniel says
Hi Alvin! Recently probably you have also seen Hostgator ‘s performance is not good as expected. If you want to know about the status of any webpage, just register an account at Pingdom. They will instantaneously inform you about the server, both the down and up.
CDN is not a kind of “second” hosting provider, so it can not replace a normal hosting service:-).
Tuan Do says
Do you have bad experience with HostGator? I am using some tools to track its uptime and it is almost 100% all the time. Sometimes it is the problem of our bad connection, not the hosting service.
Alvin Lim says
Yes. It was a bad experience. Pingdom reports show 1-2 outages in a month. Before this is even worst. Now the failure reports getting lesser. Might be I am just unlucky to fall into overselling hosting servers that have a lot of different domains.
Thanks, Daniel and Tuan. I am just thinking that maxCDN like cloudflare which offer uptime even the hosting is down. Guess it is not. But I will look into it and see how it helps.
Michael Aulia @CravingTech.com says
Umm.. I believe it is. Cloudflare, at least. It will serves your visitors the cache version and it will display that your website is currently offline. Of course, things like shopping cart and your WordPress admin will not be accessible but your posts will
I have a screenshot that I took when my blog was offline at Hostgator but Cloudflare still displays my blog posts: http://www.cravingtech.com/7-reasons-why-you-should-use-cloudflare-to-speed-up-your-websiteblog.html
Daniel says
Nice roundup Tuan! I have ever written best 10 CDN services with a simple conclusion that MaxCDN is the best choice for an average blog in the… first year!Now I am quite happy with it.
Tuan Do says
Yes, Daniel. I am trying MaxCDN on this blog and its performance is quite impressive. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have data centers in Asia at the moment, actually there is one but they are offering it for a higher price. I hope they will soon complete the 4 edge servers in Asia like they promised. I will continue using their service even if the price is $99. :)
Justin Germino says
Your blog load times are incredible, I was looking at Amazon S3 which I am using now but was considering Cloudfront because many companies block s3.amazon.com content and therefore all my CSS renders wrong behind corporate proxies on Amazon. I am considering testing Cloudfront but am concerned with the costs as I have heard they jack up quite a bit, right now I was paying about $6 per month just for static pull of content for S3 storage, but not sure how much that will increase once I throw CloudFront in front of it.
Tuan Do says
Hi Justin,
If you use the CloudFront along with your S3 storage, I guess you will have to pay about $15 each month then. They charge for the storage in S3 and transferring between your origin server and edge locations. You can check out the detailed pricing on its page http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/#pricing, I think the price is quite affordable.
Justin Germino says
Yeah, I am going to test it out with a smaller blog to learn how to configure it with using a subdomain for my hosting. I just haven’t had time this week, I also don’t want to experiment with my big site because I don’t want to risk an outage. All the websites online I have found and W3 Total Cache instructions are a bit confusing on how to configure for Cloudfront, was easy for S3.
Tuan Do says
Setting up the Cloudfront and S3 for W3 Total Cache is pretty easy too. After creating a bucket in S3, just go to CloudFront to fill in those information and create the distribution. You will then receive a domain name of the distribution to configure in W3 Total Cache. Let me know if you have any problem setting it up.
Damon Billian says
“I tried it too but soon I realized that the speed wasn’t improved and it is not a genuine CDN service. ”
I’m curious why you don’t think CloudFlare is a CDN? We do cache static content.
“I tried it too but soon I realized that the speed wasn’t improved and it is not a genuine CDN service”
When did you try the service? If you tried it months ago, for example, it was probably before we added most of our datacenters.
Tuan Do says
Hi Damon,
I tried CloudFlare about 2 months ago and I was a little disappointed. The first thing is the loading time was almost not improved, sometimes I even saw the downtime on my site, I guessed that CloudFlare doesn’t reroute visitors to the next closest datacenters when the closest one is down. I couldn’t check which datacenter is being used and control files cached on the servers.
In conclusion, I don’t see any change when using CloudFlare and that’s why I stopped using it.
Btw, I hope you would clarify those problems too. Thanks.
Damon Billian says
Where are you located? One thing to keep in mind is that the caching can also take a few days to build out, so site speed would get progressively faster.
“I guessed that CloudFlare doesn’t reroute visitors to the next closest datacenters when the closest one is down.”
We actually do pull out of a datacenter once we know that there is an issue. This would automatically cause routing to another datacenter.
“I couldn’t check which datacenter is being used and control files cached on the servers.”
You can do a traceroute to find out which datacenter you’re hitting. If you need help reading it, I can help decipher where you’re hitting.
We’re working on stronger file management.
“sometimes I even saw the downtime on my site”
This can happen if you have something at the host or server level blocking our requests (or the server is actually having issues). Details below:
Tips to ensure CloudFlare’s IPs are accepted by your server If your server origin is online, then: 1) Make sure that you’re not blocking CloudFlare IPs in .htaccess, iptables , or your firewall. 2) Make sure your hosting provider isn’t rate limiting or blocking IP requests from the CloudFlare IPs and ask them to whitelist the IP addresses below:
• 204.93.240.0/24 (204.93.240.0 – 204.93.240.255)
• 204.93.177.0/24 (204.93.177.0 – 204.93.177.255)
• 199.27.128.0/21 (199.27.128.0 – 199.27.135.255)
• 173.245.48.0/20 (173.245.48.0 – 173.245.63.255)
• 103.22.200.0/22 (103.22.200.0 – 103.22.203.255)
• 141.101.64.0/18 (141.101.64.0 – 141.101.127.255)
Tuan Do says
Thanks Damon,
I will give CloudFlare another try and compare its performance to MaxCDN. I had a bad experience with it and hopefully it will be improved this time. Recently, a blogger in my network also complaint about the service, his website is inaccessible even when the hosting service is up and this was solved after he disabled CloudFlare.
Btw, I heard some other bloggers say that we can’t use CloudFlare and MaxCDN together and it even could slower the loading speed. Those problems are really concerning me.
Gowtham V says
Me too faced the same issue as your friend. My site become offline many times when i used the cloudflare service.Now i am using MaxCDN which seems to be working great to speed up my site to load within few seconds and its cheaper than other paid CDN’s.
Thanks for the information. :-)
olawaledaniel says
Thanks Tuan for this awesome information. This recommendation can be of great help to my website performance. Nice share :)
Nasif says
I am using cloudflare CDN and facing no issue so far. It will be great if you can publish a post about the difference in speed and performance between Cloudflare CDN and MaxCDN. If MaxCDN is better then I will definitely use their service.
Tuan Do says
Do you check the uptime of your site, I’ve seen some bloggers complain that their sites were down just because of CloudFlare CDN. I moved to MaxCDN after not seeing improved performance with CloudFlare. I will spend some time to compare it exactly.
Michael Vallez says
Tuan,
You rock, I used the very first suggestion due to the W3 Total Cache tie in and I went from 15.6 seconds site load time to as low as 3.6 seconds to 5.6 seconds, truly awesome.
thank you very much.
Mike
Tuan Do says
Awesome, Michael.
I’m very glad as my suggestion works for you. I can see the loading speed of your site is amazingly fast.
Matt says
Tuan Do,
If you really care about your page speed, leave Host Gator. I’ll give you a example. I’m starting a new blog, and went with Host Gator recently. After starting to develop the blog I noticed it was slow no matter what I did.
Search Engines like google look at page speed and it means alot. I went from $7 a month to a $12 (Got a 35% Off) Host who is lightning fast. I get .89 – 1 second load time all day long. My site has only been up for 2 months, in which I’ve had no time to even make posts. It’s already a Page Rank 3.
If you would like any help or suggestions you have my e-mail now, and I don’t mind giving you information about what I’m runnning on my site to get the speed I am.
Great Post, and Topic here,
Matt
Rance says
Nice round up of CDN services!! There’s another plugin that I found. It was released two days ago, called CDN Speed Cache. One click install, Paypal payments of $29/month and you get EdgeCast CDN caching services! Site easily loads twice as fast. Check it out :)
Swamykant says
I believe the MaxCDN is too good.. Anyway Nice post.
Dave Clements says
That’s interesting; I didn’t know that Google had a CDN offering. For now, i’m using Amazon Cloudfront in conjunction with W3 Total Cache and I’m very happy. My site isn’t massively busy, but it’s also not quiet, but my monthly cost is still just a couple of bucks. Not bad at all. I’ll be keeping an eye on it though.
Aditya Pandey says
Hey Tuan, Great Post, help me a lot for choosing a right service. I am also using CloudFlare and quite satisfied with and also compared Speed before using Cloudflare, there was drastic change in it.
So, I think you should re-consider “CloudFlare”.
Tuan Do says
Thanks for your recommendation, Aditya.
I will give it a try after the subscription to MaxCDN ends because I still have no complaints about the service. Hopefully CloudFlare will remain free then. :)
Aditya Pandey says
Just a suggestion that you or someone else may suffer in future.
That You Must not activate W3TC along with CloudFlare, this create problem and slows down website, I am telling you from my experience.
Regards
Tuan Do says
Thanks a lot, mate.
I saw the CloudFlare option in W3TC and thought they should work well together. I will need more research before changing to CloudFlare then, I am not sure it could be as good as MaxCDN.
Aditya Pandey says
Agreed. Not good as MAXCDN But a lot helpful because it’s free. :)
Lazlo Dreamus says
Hi there Tuan Do, i been following this post and the comments, i wrote up a trick how i setup amazon s3 bucket as cdn with Cloudflare as the CDN on my site, which saves a lot of bandwidth and request, you should really reconsider Cloudflare they are great free service using it on other websites and the results are amazing compared to other methods, best part it is free, by the way love your post and research.
Littly says
other than couldflare, there’s pagespeed and incapsula too. these too are currently free. you can do a quick download speed test between these three at spooster
google page speed has been doing the best in my tests but your results may vary based on your geographical location.
PC Enthusiast says
Hi Tuan Do, I’m thinking of getting the MAXCDN, but my question is, will getting a CDN service improve my site performance, decrease page load times and increase SERPs? Google webmaster tools suggest that my site is slower than a typical site.
Tuan Do says
Yes, absolutely it can decrease your page loading speed. I’m using MaxCDN and my loading speed is always less then 2s now.
Naser @ Tech Blog says
I have never tried CDN services. Just using WP-Super Cache. Will think about going with MaxCDN. Thanks for sharing Tuan.
2Nuts says
Tried couple of times for a Google Page Speed CDN but no luck yet. I’m hesitant to use CloudFlare because it needs to change the DNS IPs.
Tuan Do says
Yes, that’s right. You will also need to change DNS with Google Page Speed CDN. If you don’t want to change it, try MaxCDN.
Satrap says
Hi tuan, I was actually thinking about purchasing MaxCDN but I was not just sure. I was just afraid that it would be too complicated to set up but from reading your article it seems like it’s it’s a really simple set up. I am going to get a try as my site speed is really down in the past few months especially since I have been getting more and more visitors. I will give it a try, thank you.
Tuan Do says
You are welcome, Satrap.
Yeah it’s very easy to set up MaxCDN, it often takes about 5-10 minutes with their step-by-step guide. The service has improved my site speed dramatically and I am ready to extend another year. There is nothing to complain. :)
satrap says
Hi Tuan,Thanks for the reply.So, I went ahead and got the max cdn and installed everything accordingly.Now, prior to that, my Google webmaster tools was telling me that on average my pages take about 11.7 seconds to load.I set up max cdn yesterday and the GWT’s updated number is about the same. Does it take a while for the effects to show up? Is there anything I am missing here?…Thanks in advance.
Tuan Do says
Hi,
You can check in your account to see if the CDN has been in effect. The loading speed varies in different locations, so I think the Google Webmaster tools can’t calculate it exactly. You can use tools like Pingdom to test the loading speed of your site from some locations, I think you will have more accurate numbers then.
Bob says
Hi Tuan
Very helpful article, thank you.
I use hostgator, so my server is based in Texas I believe. But 35% of my readers are from Australia, around 20% from the USA and about 20% from the UK. The rest are from all over the world. I can see how Max CDN would speed up the user experience for my UK and USA readers, but I suspect it will do nothing for my Australian readers. Is that correct? Should I be waiting until their network covers Asia/Pacific?
Tuan Do says
Hi Bob,
Actually MaxCDN has edge and peer locations in Asia and Australia now, but you will have to pay more for it because of the higher bandwidth costs. If you really need to speed up your website, this shouldn’t be a big problem.
I guess they won’t make the advanced feature available soon because they want to keep the pricing as low as possible. So, don’t wait for that. :)
Bob says
Thanks for your answer Tuan, I have sent a message to Max CDN to try and confirm they are now in place, because their website is still saying pending. I’ve also asked about those extra charges, so as soon as I know, I’ll post back here. Thanks!
Bob says
Well, I asked the question twice in support and didn’t get an answer. So today I went on to live chat and asked the question again, and was told that they do not have a network in Asia or Australia and cannot tell me the ETA when they think it will happen.
Do you know anything about instantCDN.Asia?
Cư sĩ Hữu Minh says
Hi Tuan,
Thank you for the review. I heard a lots of good reviews about MaxCDN, so I’m not surprise to see it #1 on your list.
My site is not a really large site since it’s a religious website. I have around 6.000 – 7.000 unique vistors daily, but so far I’m very happy with the free service from CloudFlare. I also have W3 Total Cache installed for my blog and with the right settings, I think these 2 combined will do for any avarage site.
Luis Villacrez says
I’m currently using the PageSpeed Service and I’m having nightmares… Sometimes I get Blank Pages… It makes me want to get the MAXCDN, but I just don’t want to give up on Google just yet.
Tuan Do says
Are you sure about that? I have been using the PageSpeed service for nearly 2 years and still don’t have any problem. Everything is great and I am still tracking the uptime of my site, it is 100% and I never saw a blank page as well.
Possibly it is some conflicts with your plugin, Google recommend not to use any cache plugin with the PageSpeed Service.
Luis Villacrez says
I uninstalled the WP Super Cache and I’m still getting some Blank Pages Displayed Initially later after second try it loads normal.
Tuan Do says
That’s strange. I have 2 blogs running on PageSpeed service now. Could you check them out and let me know if there is any issue? http://www.bloghelpdesk.com/
Luis Villacrez says
After a couple of hours of Google searching, I made it work. IT was really frustrating.
I think the plugin cache was causing all problems. Also, I have noticed that you have to tweak it the mod rewrites in other to be compatible with your wordpress site depending your needs.
Thanks for not letting me give on Google.
Luis Villacrez says
I’m very happy with Google Page Speed now. I even made a tutorial for an easy integration with wordpress. Maybe some readers might find it useful. Check it here: http://www.dexmag.com/USDN2
Robin @ dailytut says
After started using maxcdn for my blog, i am able to see huge difference in google page speed score result. This is a must have service for a blog and any dynamic websites.
Google Pagespeed CDN is giving some trouble for me at times. their support system is quick to address the issue but solving ration is less due to different software we use at our server end.
Robi
Tuan Do says
I totally agree with you.
MaxCDN and Google PageSpeed CDN are the best CDN services at the moment. I prefer MaxCDN because they have awesome support staffs. They helped me set up the service as well as troubleshoot any problem.
MaxCDN has just expanded its datacenters to Asia, we could benefit a lot from that. :)
Ciaran says
Hello Tuan,
Whilst the CDN’s you have mentioned are good, I think that they do not cater for small to mid sized businesses. The CDN provider market is changing because of new providers like ‘CDNify’… A simple to setup, pay as you grow service with a smaller team – leading to a more personalised service!
I recommend checking them out for future reference!
Karmakar says
Hi Tuan…
I am just speechless after checking your website`s load time… For last few weeks I was so confused about which CDN service provider I should choose for my website… I am also concern about the cost factor…
I got a clear idea about the cost from your article.. Thanks a lot….
Now, I have heard that there is NO support from Amazon Cloudfront (According to cdnplanet.com)…. How is the support facility for MaxCDN ????… For me service and support both are important factors…
Tuan Do says
Hi Karmakar,
I contacted MaxCDN’s support team a few times and they were very helpful. I had no problem with them at all. At the moment, I will recommend MaxCDN because of great service, support and cost.
Karmakar says
Hi Tuan..
Thank you very much for the confirmation… Many thanks for the quick reply…. Really appreciate it…
Tuan Do says
You are so welcome.
I’d appreciate if you could purchase the service via the link above. :)
Jim says
Just so you know, MaxCDN just change their pricing so it’s not really as attractive. Instead of the $39 for 1TB for a year, it’s now $9/month for their cheapest package. That comes out to $108/year. Quite a big price jump. I spoke to them about this and they acknowledged that they raised their prices, but said that it’s because the base package is for 2 sites, instead of 1. So if you only have 1 website, they no longer have any options for you. Unless you want to pay for more than you need.
Tuan Do says
Hi Jim,
Yes I’ve just noticed the change in price.
Actually it is still almost the same price because $39 was the price for first year only. They now increase the price to $9/month. However, you can save 25% with the coupon MaxCDNcoupon and you also get 2 free months if you pre-pay for 1 year. So, the overall price for 1 year is just around $65.
Hope it helps. :)
Sameer says
Howdy Tuan, you’ve written quiet interesting post for choosing best CDN services for WordPress. Now I need your opinion on my needs.
What I need. I need an affordable Pull CDN type with the edge locations in India, since my 80% of traffic originates from India and nearby countries. And yes, the traffic Is around 7-10m monthly pageviews.
MaxCDN is good I had used them earlier for US oriented traffic sites but, they don’t have any edge location in India, the nearest edge location they have is in Singapore. While, Amazon has just executed two new edge location in India (Mumbai and Chennai cities.)
Now in your view, what should I opt for?
Phong says
Hi Tuan,
Really interesting about your article regarding to CDN. We are running online store & currently facing server load issues when 150 customer hit the site per second daily. IT is not my language & unsure which CDN provider should I go with. Mac CDN or Amazon cloud front or Rackspace. Please advise me to pick the right provider. Thanks
Phong says
Hi Tuan,
Another issue that I would like to ask you about Varnish & Nginx catch. Can both work together well or just pick one of them? Please suggest me. Thanks
Thomas Zickell says
Hi Phong,
Varnish & Nginx catch to put it simply I would utilize varnish as a reverse proxy server and put it in front of Nginx only if needed you truly can do the same thing with Nginx alone as you can with varnish however if you’re using Apache you’re going to want to utilize varnish
Use NGINX/PHP-FPM you don’t need varnish
Hi Tuan,
I would use PressCDN it combines “WordPress piggybacks on the networks of the interwebs major CDN providers including: Edgecast, Amazon, Akamai, and MaxCDN. Akamai obviously has the largest points of presence in the world 216 I believe that combined with the other content delivery networks I think will give you the broadest network. China cache is also a quality content delivery network that has a lot of pops in Asia.
I would also look at rack space they resell Akamai at a extremely competitive price. With W3TC you simply grab your API and throw it in.
I don’t know if you guys have heard there’s a new managed WordPress hosting company I checked them out they are teething right now but have the ability to become something great GetFlyWheel
All the best,
Thomas
Marc says
Hi Tuan
I too was accepted on the Pagespeed test. I have been using Max CDN on an image intensive site with a range of plugins but speeds were still disappointing. When I did the pagespeed webpagetest to give me a preview of how my site would benefit from Google Pagespeed the results were actually slower!
times.
Problem for me is that I cant use W3Totalcache as it breaks other plugins on my site so I guess I had better stay with MaxCDN and 10s load times. :0(
Arun Kallarackal says
Hi, I’m using Cloudflare (free plan) on my blogs. It is good and I plan to purchase pro plans. But after coming to know of Cloudfront by Amazon, I’m confused. Which one should I use?
Sanket says
Really Nice Post and MaxCDN is really a Awesome service which has grown a lot these days.
MK Sam says
Hi, Please tell me about some cheaper CDN services, because I’m starting a new website and I don’t have enough budget to get high services like MaxCDN or any other like that.
Waiting for your relpy.
Tuan Do says
Hi Sam,
If your website is new and has low traffic, you don’t need to get a paid CDN service yet. Some free services like CloudFlare is more than enough. :)
