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.

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.

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.

North America & Europe	$0.04/GB	$0.03/GB	$0.02/GB	$0.01/GB
Asia & Oceania	$0.08/GB	$0.06/GB	$0.04/GB	$0.02/GB

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
