You would want a CDN anyway to cache data across users, on servers close to those users, cutting the time & energy spent to serve the data.

- archerx 2y agoI feel like this is a marketing meme by cdn providers that gets parroted a lot. As someone who has used CDNs vs hosting on the server directly, CDNs are slower to load the images especially when there is a cache miss. The only reason I’m using a cdn is because I need to host 100gb+ images. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t use a cdn and get a better experience on the site.
