CDN Calculator feedback
Hey all, I decided to create an easy to use calculator that would allow you to quickly calculate your expenses and find the cheapest CDN.
https://deploy-preview-10--www-cdnperf-com.netlify.com/tools/cdn-calculator
Let me know what you think. I would also be grateful for bug reports like wrong pricing logic, wrong numbers...
Comments
how about add minimum payment/deposit for each listed CDN if they dont had pay as you go plan?
Very nice one for multi-CDN as well. Can you do single + combined recommendation depends on traffics distribution?
Not sure how accurate your pricing is. Because most premium CDN would have very good discount based on committed volume which could be cheaper for higher traffics usage.
/me is that subdomain?
ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site keyon your captcha
The pricing is based on their public plans. Obviously we can't take into account discounts that providers do for heavy users and custom contracts.
multi-cdn pricing would be a lot more complicated, maybe a bit later if more people request it
@Cloudiver yeah because its under the netlify domain, its a pull request preview for the new feature. Captcha works fine here https://www.cdnperf.com/
I would also include BunnyCDN's "volume" pricing. The percentage distribution also feels somewhat tedious to use, maybe turning it into sliders that automatically compensate if you reduce one would be easier.
@Rodney there wasn't much space in there so sliders would not fit well.
There are other providers that have "volume" pricing as well but they all disable some of the locations which makes it unfair to other CDNs.
Would be interested to see if IBMs Akamai is different from Azures Akamai, any tests in that regard?
How about a "zero out" button then? Or to make editing a little easier by automatically selecting the number when you select a cell.
Fair enough. Having an option to see the absolute rock-bottom price for all providers would be nice as well though. For example I have 100% EU traffic mostly from in and around germany. BunnyCDN's volume PoPs work decently for that.
The answer is always Bunnycdn
@nik I doubt it but can't be 100% sure
@Rodney I will note to do it, thanks
@corbpie not always, but not everyone wants the absolute cheapest CDN. Some want to compare 2-3 preferred CDNs
What if you show the sum of the inputs?
@jimaek something up with the raw log calculator?
Shows $50, adds $0.0050?
Good find, will fix it soon
Nice tool thanks
I think you should show the worldwide response time as well - that way no one would choose BelugaCDN because they cheat with their pops and thus getting an awful latency in real life ^_^
Should probably also add that beluga doesn’t actually have 28 PoPs at all, at least not for the base price. Last time I checked the normal pricing only had their 9 “Super PoPs”.
@bunnyspeed Their website is very confusing, can you point me somewhere to correct our info about beluga?
@Zerpy Yes, I will try to add that soon, but only for the CDNs we have data for
It's something I noticed while running some tests a while ago. Of course I can't say what the actual situation is. They also list 9 PoPs on https://www.cdnoverview.com/cdn/belugacdn/ and there's something I found a few days ago https://www.webhostwhat.com/belugacdn-warning-consider-this-beluga-cdn-alternative/
Might be best to just talk to them I guess, no point in speculating things.
Input box too big on S7 EDGE

If anyone finds any other bugs let me know
I can't edit the original post to add the new link, so here it is https://www.cdnperf.com/tools/cdn-calculator
Its live, thanks for everyone that helped. All new changes will be deployed directly to production.
@jimaek maybe Math.round?
Better solution would be
.toFixed(2)Yep, I will fix it today with a few more changes
The Beluga website looks a bit like Vultr, is Beluga part of Vultr?
No, more like part of isprime.
I believe we call that differentiation in marketing.
This bug should be already fixed
Doesn't seem like it
