Estimating Your CDN Costs
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are essential for fast, global websites, but their pricing can be complex. This calculator helps you estimate your monthly bill from a CDN provider like AWS CloudFront, Google Cloud CDN, or Cloudflare by breaking down the two main cost components: data transfer and HTTP requests.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CDN?
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of servers distributed geographically. It stores copies (caches) of your website's static content (like images, CSS, and JavaScript files) closer to your users. This speeds up your website load times and reduces the load on your main server.
How do CDNs charge for their service?
Most CDNs use a pay-as-you-go model based on two main metrics: data transfer (how many gigabytes of data are delivered to users) and the number of HTTP requests made to their servers. This calculator helps you estimate these costs.
Do I need a CDN?
If your website has a global audience, high traffic, or a lot of media content, a CDN can significantly improve performance and user experience. For small, local websites, it may not be necessary, although many free CDN plans (like Cloudflare's) are beneficial for almost any site.
