BunnyCDN Speed Test
We usually look after TTFB (Time To First Byte) while testing the site. I am testing BunnyCDN’s performance. Here I tested the CDN route for my site and the result for CDN Testing is impressive.
If your site’s TTFB is under 100 ms then you are standing in a solid state. It is recommended to have TTFB under 200 ms.
The good TTFB for a website is between 200 ms – 500 ms. If your TTFB is greater than 500 ms then you need to contact or upgrade your hosting.
I am using Cloudways Hosting for my blog. It’s a pretty solid platform for hosting. If you are a speed enthusiast, you need a better stack for your site. You can read the Cloudways Hosting Review here.
Pricing
There are two pay-as-you-go BunnyCDN Pricing for unlimited sites. One is the Standard Tier model and another is the High Volume Tier Model.

High Volume Tier: It is ideal if you are hosting large files/videos. High Volume Tier helps to save the bandwidth with the best price-performance with 8+ PoPs globally.

Competitors
Here are many CDN providers that you can integrate with your website. Cloudflare, KeyCDN, etc are the main competitors of Bunny CDN and most of us are familiar with these providers too.
Cloudflare: You can integrate Cloudflare for free and I am using free Cloudflare for DNS purposes only. Other than the free plan they have Pro ($20/month), Business ($200/month), and Enterprise plans (Custom pricing).
KeyCDN: Key CDN is another competitor that has over 40+ data centers available with HTTP/2, Brotli, and TLS 1.3, features. Here the pricing model of KeyCDN is a bit expensive compared to BunnyCDN.
Region | First 10 TB | Next 40 TB | Next 100 TB | Over 150 TB |
---|---|---|---|---|
North America & Europe | $0.04/GB | $0.03/GB | $0.02/GB | $0.01/GB |

Verdict
After using Bunny CDN as a proxy for my blog, I have concluded that it is one of the best CDN options out there. According to cdnperf.com, it is ranked as one of the top CDN providers in the world. The integration with Cloudflare DNS has been seamless, ensuring a smooth and efficient delivery of my blog’s content.
The use of the Bunny Optimizer to serve webp images within the browser is a great feature, but it is a bit pricey. However, if you opt not to use the Bunny Optimizer, the CDN service becomes much cheaper. Overall, I highly recommend Bunny CDN for any blog or website looking for a fast, reliable, and cost-effective CDN solution.

Hi bro, i have configured bunnycdn on my website but i have a question.
I am using wp rocket and cloudflare, i have added my cdn to wp rocket cdn settings and everthing went well and i can see cdn urls in image sources. should i install BunnyCDN Plugin too? to use it.
and one more is using i am using cloudflare cdn and bunny cdn both what should i do? change settings or leave as it is.
Hi Arsh, If you are using BunnyCDN URL in WP Rocket settings then, you can avoid the uses of the BunnyCDN plugin since both are doing the same work. Also, you can use Cloudflare for DNS purposes only and BunnyCDN for CDN. Always use DNS Only at Proxy Status in Cloudflare for your domain URL and CDN URL.
Thanks
hey i want to switch to bunny cdn.
can u tell me a website having 1mill monthly page view how much gb is required? i m asking this for pricing purpose
Hi Saagar,
You can chat with the Bunny Support team for a clear answer.
Thanks
After implementing Bunny CDN, my website is not opening properly (too many 502 errors) – Images are missing and CSS is broken. I am also using Cloudways hosting. When I asked their support they told me it is your Hosting issue. However, Cloudways support is telling me that everything is fine at their end. Have you ever faced this issue? Do you know how can I solve this?
Hi Pintu,
Sorry that you are facing some problems.
Have you checked by disabling Bunny CDN?
Have you checked your site by disabling all the plugins?
Please check step by step and ask your hosting to assist with the 502 problem.
Thanks
Thanks, Suraj for replying. I did disable the Bunny CDN and everything works fine. This problem occurs whenever I enable the CDN.
Can you share what are the ”Cache Expiration Time” settings you’re using on both Bunny CDN and WP Rocket.
Mine is 1 year in Bunny and 24 Hours in Wp Rocket.
Thanks.
It’s the same setting as yours.
Can you share your website URL in my mail?
Thanks

Is it necessary to use caching plugin if using CDN already?
Hi Abby,
The answer is YES.
How do you connect your WordPress website to the Bunny CDN Storage Perma Cache without problems?
Like needing to purge the cache every time that you need to login, pages will be cached with the adming bar at the top, which means that all users will see it, comments will not update, the post previews will not update, …
Thanks.
