Content delivery networks are more than just web caching. It's a safe bet that the most -last mile- traffic these days is streaming video, and most of that wouldn't be possible without CDNs. Even with traditional TV, CDNs are replacing satellite distribution for TV networks. CDNs also provide private, reliable and secure backhaul for corporate video where Internet latency and unreliability cannot be tolerated. For instance, medical programming and remote procedures need high reliability circuits.

CDN, especially free Cloudflare is great in a combination with cloud hosting like Google Cloud. Thanks to Cloudflare you can cache all of the static content and not only make is super quick to load (-50ms per request), but also minimize number of requests to Google Cloud instances. Thanks to that you can stick with Google Cloud free tier, make site load as quick as from local, expensive server and you get free SSL certificates on both ends. I love such combination. It's a game changer for me.

my roomate insists on having the 2nd fastest connection we can get which is 325Mb download speed.
Im usually good with 10 Mb download speed so this is overkill.
how can i make money with this extra bandwidth? cuz we are paying 3 x 90 bucks each for power/internet

Yo Chris, first of all love your Vids, convinced me to try KDE and love it so far. Have you ever thought of adding descriptionary Animations to illustrate what you are talking about? Sure would be additional time spent on a video but would also help you explain.

So you don't have any Russians hacking your site?
All jokes aside awesome video, and your right most people don't want to wait more a long time anymore. I remember Dial Up when I was a kid, like 1 minute to get a site to load. Internet has come a long way.

I expected this video to be more like the IP routing and DNS resolving with CDN's which would have been much more interesting than just using wordpress and static export of the site.

i kind of had a guess since i use noscript and enabling the main site alone does not work unless i also enable the CDN. (i had a lot of head scratching making Crunchyroll work!)

I've had some issues with CDN's in the past as a user. They worked out the glitches, but it was still annoying trying to grab updates.
