What Are the Alternatives to Cloudflare?


What do you suggest as an alternative to CloudFlare?

I just want something simple I can point my domain name at and it will speed up my WordPress website by caching assets.

Fastly, bunnycdn (if you're ok with just CDN), basedflare, quic.cloud, ...

Search for CDN or for "CloudFlare alternatives". There's a few more available on the https://lowendtalk.com/ forums.

The outages this week have been rough. But outages can and will happen in any provider. I think the better goal is to find a way to use upstream providers in a more resilient way. When they are down, can you have fallbacks to another provider, or will that be too much engineering effort? Don't look for a provider that will be up 100% of the time, but figure out how to make sure your service isn't down when Cloudflare is down.

No specific suggestion, but a useful keyword for searching would be "CDN".
