I just disabled BunnyCDN for my blog. I have made a huge effort to implement efficient in-memory caching in GoBlog, including support for strong ETags that stay the same across software restarts (because they are just SHA-256 hashes of the content). I will still use BunnyCDN for the media hosted on my blog though. A CDN is probably overkill for a low-traffic fast-software-with-caching blog on a fast virtual private server with fast network. GoBlog is not WordPress. 😁

Why I use a paid CDN
To answer the question from an anonymous reader:
How to Get a Completely Free Website
In this post I want to show with which services and tools it is possible to run a completely free website. An own website not only offers the possibility to create your own professional web presence, it can also make you independent from silos like Facebook, Twitter or Medium. It is always better to publish content on your own page with your own domain. If a service changes the terms of use or ceases operation, it is so much easier to move to another service.
My blog went viral and did just fine
Yesterday, I posted a link to a tweet by DHH on my blog. It’s about “Google tax”. Companies nowadays have to buy ads to appear on top for searches for their brand name.
