Unless you're running a site that you know is constantly getting hits from all over the globe, using a CDN will make your site load slower for some users. And you almost certainly don't need one for scaling purposes. I've handled frontpage traffic multiple times without. What I wish existed (or maybe does) is something like a CDN with ~8 global locations that promises to keep your static site in a warm cache for a small fee, without me having to set up a fly.io app manually. That would let my blog always load fast anywhere on the planet even for the first hit in a region.

You're looking for a CDN with an integrated storage service, bunny.net has that feature[1]. They also have a volume tier for cheaply serving files[2] which seems to meet your need for a low PoP count (with some discounts to go along with it).

Rather than routing cache misses to origin, it'll route to other PoPs with the cached content?
