What CDN? CloudFlare?

• dangrossman 13y ago
  c:\>ping dangrossman.github.io Pinging github.map.fastly.net [199.27.72.133] Fastly (http://www.fastly.com/ http://www.fastly.com/).

    So I'm not the only one who went looking :) Not sure why they don't mention the specific CDN on their blog post. Possibly because they host at Rackspace but don't use Rackspace's CDN? (Which is white label Akamai last time I checked).

    Apparently they don't yet have a great network of nodes in Europe though: ping dangrossman.github.io round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 16.173/16.275/16.463/0.074 ms (From Paris, France) In comparison, Cloudfront is something like 2ms away.

    They've been using fastly for a while now, makes sense that they're using fastly in this case as well.

  Doesn't look like it: dig +short NS github.io ns2.p16.dynect.net. ns4.p16.dynect.net. ns1.p16.dynect.net. ns3.p16.dynect.net.

    You need to hit a subdomain of github.io (any subdomain) to see the CDN; that's where user pages live.

    All that shows is who they're hosting their DNS with, it has nothing to do with using a CDN. Dynect offers a CDN management tool that makes it easy to balance multiple CDNs across specific regions, so I'm not at all surprised they're using them for their DNS.

      If they were using Cloudflare, as the other commenter had asked, they would be using Cloudflare nameservers

        While it's true that they could be using the DNS servers, it's not true that they have to- https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168706-How-do-I-do-CNAME-setup- https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168706-H...
