Fastly CDN vs. Cloudflare

What is Fastly CDN?

Today, websites must meet more demands than ever before: lightning-fast loading times, responsive design, and a top SEO ranking are just a few examples. The use of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can improve web performance as content and applications can be delivered faster and more reliably. This is also promised by Fastly's Edge-Cloud-based CDN. In addition, the provider from San Francisco claims to offer a higher level of insight and programmability at the edge of the network.

Other benefits cited by the company include automatic optimization of image content (Image Optimization) to relieve the web server, protection against attacks (Web Application Firewall & DDoS Protection), real-time logs for immediate detection of website problems, and the invalidation of cached content within an average of 150 ms: (Instant Purge), so that the website content is always up to date.

What is Cloudflare?

Cloudflare CDN is a comprehensive, global content delivery network that, according to its own statements, uses the latest technology to provide fast, reliable CDN services. It offers, among other things, 2x faster loading times (so it doesn't matter how far users are from the origin web server), greater savings (e.g., thanks to caching of content), protection against DDoS attacks, and the flexibility to cache content. Cloudflare is particularly suitable for videos, providing shorter start times and reduced buffering. The solution can be used free of charge in the Free version (ideal for non-essential business projects) or alternatively in the Pro, Business, and Enterprise versions from $20/month.
