They have a history of randomly deciding it's not free and shutting off people's service without notice. It also slows down your site (cache misses)

- sudhirj 9y agoNot so randomly - they seem to shut down sites that take the CDN freeloading to an extreme - image hotlinks, lots of data with not HTML, that kind of thing. If the entire site is being served via CF, they might not mind. They do have a video service in the works, though, need to see how that pans out.
- joshribakoff 9y agoWhat about a site with a little HTML but lots of files. "Might not mind" doesn't sound like something I would bet my business on. There is a gray area and you can find examples of people that got shut down (without warning) whom would disagree that they crossed that line
- sudhirj 9y agoGet a paid plan if you’re a business or are serious about your site. Don’t think they take unilateral action on paid plans. There’s also an option to pay for bandwidth somewhere, there certainly is when you activate Argo. Can’t really accuse you of free loading once you pay.
