Here are some cheap or free CDN options for serving static files:

Low-cost / easy options

  • Cloudflare — Free plan is often enough for static assets; good global caching and DNS.
  • Bunny CDN — Very affordable pay-as-you-go; popular for images, JS, CSS.
  • Fastly — Powerful, but usually pricier than Bunny/Cloudflare.
  • AWS CloudFront — Flexible, can be cheap at small scale but pricing gets complex.
  • Google Cloud CDN / Azure CDN — Good, but usually not the cheapest.

Cheapest practical picks

  1. Cloudflare Free
    Best if you can put your site behind Cloudflare and cache static files at the edge.

  2. Bunny CDN
    Great low-cost dedicated CDN for static assets, simple pricing.

  3. Cloudflare R2 + Cloudflare CDN
    Good if you’re serving files from object storage and want to avoid egress fees.

If you only need static website hosting

  • GitHub Pages
  • Netlify free tier
  • Vercel free tier
  • Cloudflare Pages

These aren’t “CDNs” in the traditional sense, but they’re great for static files and often effectively use CDN distribution.

Recommendation

  • Absolute cheapest: Cloudflare Free
  • Best cheap CDN for real asset delivery: Bunny CDN
  • If you want object storage + CDN: Cloudflare R2

If you want, I can compare price per GB, setup difficulty, or recommend one based on your traffic level and file types.
