Putting a Bunny.net CDN in Front of My Static Blog
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:
