When users access your website from different cities or countries, loading speed is like waiting for an “intercity elevator”: the farther the distance, the longer the wait.
Behind the scenes, what often determines the quality of the experience isn't the server itself, but rather the content delivery network (CDN)—that “intermediate warehouse.”
This article focuses on Bunny.net CDN, a CDN service provider renowned for its “low-cost + global nodes” approach.
We achieve this through14-day continuous real-world testing, compared toDirect access to the origin server与CloudflareBunny.net's real-world performance in terms of speed, stability, download capability, and cost is clearly demonstrated through data tables.
