Firstly, from a non biased, completely subjective point of view, that is one of the quickest loading pages I've seen in a while. A great showcase for the service, congrats on getting it out there. I had a few questions I don't see answers to on the landing page: Do you support pushing to edge nodes?
Do you support the Vary header across things like Accept & Accept-Encoding?
Is the $25/mo for 100GB across multiple domains?
Any plans for higher tiers? Out of interest, how big is the team behind this? What's your background?
Would be interested to hear of how you go about setting this up to be quicker than the competitors, and what lessons you've learnt along the way. All in all it looks really compelling - Good luck with it. |

Do you support pushing to edge nodes? Push zones won't be implemented until later this year.
Do you support the Vary header across things like Accept & Accept-Encoding? Accept-encoding is used to decide if the reply is gzip'd, but other than that no. If you email me, I'll let you know when I'm finished implementing Vary.. it'll probably be this weekend.
Is the $25/mo for 100GB across multiple domains? yes. there's no limit on the number of domains.
Any plans for higher tiers? Yes.. there will be a couple of larger plans. In the meantime, you're welcome to email me if you need a larger plan.
The team is just me. I built this because it seems like every CDN focuses on enterprises, instead of the startup type websites I usually work on. I feel like most CDNs are a catch-22.. to get good performance at the edge, your website has to be popular enough to cache... but if your website is slow, no one is going to use it, so the CDN doesn't cache it. So this actually caches your files at the edge, even in areas where your website is less popular (so you can actually build up an audience in that area of the world).
As far as the website being quicker, it uses a web app framework I've developed over the past decade + the CDN (which I wrote in Golang and C). I've worked on various startups over the past 14 years (nothing big though).
