My blog is now an international success. I get like 3 hits from Google a day. That's what they call Seomaxxing. Or not. Depends who you ask.

Nevertheless, I noticed my audience comes mostly from outside Europe. My server sits in Frankfurt, so the only reasonable choice was to put a global CDN in front of my static Astro blog.

Easy, I thought.

I jumped straight in without reading anything first. What could go wrong. A lot, actually, and I can now confirm that the error pages from Bunny.net look really nice.

Got it working anyway. Full writeup on said blog, blazing fast no matter where you are:

My server sits in Frankfurt. So everyone overseas waits forever for what is basically a text file. Unacceptable.

Mate my first internet connection was a 2400 baud modem. Waiting a whole second for a text file is entirely acceptable.

No, I get it, and good job. It's about figuring out how to do it, and good job there. I'd have done the same back in the day. I have a raspberry pi with an ssd just begging for something to do. I have more ideas than time, though. Work is consuming all of my IT energy. I'm living vicariously through you.
