Looks fine over here, and he doesn't have to route through a fucking Internet gatekeeper like Cloudflare or Amazon... let's enjoy this golden era before Chrome starts flagging any site which isn't fronted by a "reputable" cache like Cloudflare, Amazon, or whatever Google decides to introduce.
- fbrchps 5y agoIt would also be possible for OP to spin up their own Redis cache, and have multiple POPs near their target audience, and handle DoS type attacks against their site if need be, and easily be able to brush aside bot traffic, and... Not all the above apply to a hobby-blog style site, but I wasn't referring only to OP's site in my original comment. I understand that not everyone needs to feed into "fucking Internet gatekeeper"s as you described, but the fact that they provide valuable services is undeniable. They make a complex operation -- one that could mean the difference between a company being able to sell their product or not -- simple.
- antihero 5y agoCould just install Varnish locally.
- mark_mcnally_je 5y agoYeah a varnish install locally is the next step up from what I am doing I guess. Spinning up multiple POPs + cloudflare is way to much IMO
- fbrchps 5y agoHaven't used Varnish myself directly, but yeah that would also work. For OP, I'd also be interested to see the benchmarks between this £4 server, and a £8 or £10 one, same stack.
- ezfe 5y agoOh I hate Google as much as the next guy, but that's not something they've shown any interest in doing.
- shtps 5y agoGoogle AMP comes to mind.
- JohnWhigham 5y agoPeople like you also probably thought the "Don't be evil" slogan would be around forever too, huh?
