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
-
Cloudflare Free
Best if you can put your site behind Cloudflare and cache static files at the edge. -
Bunny CDN
Great low-cost dedicated CDN for static assets, simple pricing. -
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.
