Before you choose

Match the pricing model to your project

Look for a free plan, trial access, or a paid entry price when evaluating a tool. Amazon CloudFront shows a free plan; Azure Front Door starts at $35 per month.

Pricing on request appears for services such as CacheFly, CDNvideo, and NGINX Plus. Confirm the current charge with the maker before deployment.

Check where the software runs

Review platform support against your workflow.

A self-hosted option can fit a team that manages its own infrastructure. An API or web service can fit a hosted delivery workflow.

Compare bandwidth and image handling

Use included bandwidth and image optimization as separate checks. These fields show how a service handles traffic volume and image delivery.

Cloudinary, ImageKit, and imgix are listed as image-focused tools. Compare their published limits and image features with your site's needs.

Review traffic controls

When traffic protection matters, review whether a tool includes a web application firewall, bot management, or an origin shield. These controls appear as comparison fields for the category.

Read the maker's current feature details before selecting a configuration.

Look for cache control

A cache purge API can help an application remove stored content after an update. Check whether the tool publishes this capability and how it fits your deployment process.

Apache Traffic Server uses open-source code and shows a free plan. Review its licensing terms before changing or distributing code.
