Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net (jola.dev)

A developer explains why she moved her blog off Cloudflare—citing concerns about dependence on a single provider and the risk of outages—toward bunny.net, a European CDN company. She describes the practical steps to set up bunny.net pull zones, connect a custom hostname with DNS (CNAME), enable SSL, and configure caching via origin cache headers or a “Smart Cache” approach. The post also covers optional settings like SSL enforcement, Origin Shield, serving stale content during origin issues, and an edge rule for redirecting the CDN domain to the real site.
