Friendly reminder that the CDN doesn't just protect the origin server from excessive load, it can also drastically improve end-user latency.

  Totally, that's a very important reason to use a CDN.
• alanfranz 5y ago
  Sure. But is the added complexity worth the whole thing? For a personal blog?

    I think you may be overestimating the complexity; fronting a blog with a CDN is trivial, even enabled by default on modern platforms.
    • alanfranz 5y ago
      That's possible. But a lot of people overestimate their traffic/load needs.
