"Great CDN Service for the best price!"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

The speed and POPs are great for any website. The princing is really affordable for any budget and the setup process is really fast with the plugins for CMS. Also the CNAME setup is really clear and easy to follow. They also support let's encrypt certificates for the setup so you can use a custom SSL for your CDN zones.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

The minimum amount for the credits should be lower, because some of us have clients that don't use much bandwitdh as others and we don't require to pay that much each year. Maybe if they had video guides about the process, could be much simplier and easier for a user to initiate with KeyCDN.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed and browsing response are key factors for any website owner, and my clients are happy with the service provided with their website development that includes KeyCDN as a must in each website. Also the availability of the content is higher and response times are faster for any visitor. Right now high availability and faster response time is the key to a great website and search engine optimization.

"KeyCDN - The affordable and powerful delivery network"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

- I fancy keycdn more over the competitors especially because they allow you the flexibility to use however much traffic you like and you pay for what you use. It's very fair logic, you get visitors you pay. - Good worpdress integration documentation and general knowledgebase articles - Blazing fast speeds - Ability to map your cdn servers to your domain cname (eg: cdn.yourdomain.com) - Very fast support replies via email

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

- Maybe the minimum credit buyiN should be a little lower, if this will happen I don't see how the competitors would keep up with KeyCDN

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

Delivering my woocommerce shop files via keycdn network for faster deliverability.

"Great affordable CDN for all sizes of website traffic"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

I found keycdn after using Maxcdn for a couple years. I was pleasantly surprised that everything I had enjoyed at Maxcdn was available at Keycdn for half the price. It has been a pleasant experience switching to them.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

I dont have any complaints. The website admin area is well laid out and easy to use.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have managed to speed up the load time of my websites, even those on budget hosting options buy offloading CSS,JS, and images to KeyCDN.

Lots of available settings to fine tune the service to your needs.

No major problems so far. Just some suggestions: better statistics (eg, nodes load stats), more advanced process of cache purging, a hint popup when entering a request.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've been creating free products for designers and developers and the quality of service is our top priority. KeyCDN hasn't failed us once.

"Great CDN Provider at an Affordable Price"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

The ability to fine tune the configuration of each zone to a specific business goal. The robust set of features available at no extra cost such as: HTTP2, Custom SSL, GZip Compression, HLS optimisation. Quick addition of latest technologies such as the Brotli compression algorithm.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

The service comes with plenty of advantages. The only potential downside is if you plan on having a large number of websites then you might hit the five zone limit pretty quickly (extra zones are charged at $1 per month).

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

Content Delivery Networks are now essential in a world full of digital media. As more and more users demand faster internet sites, implementing KeyCDN across all of our website allowed us to satisfy the needs of our users.

"Great company and fast service"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

KeyCDN offers many cutting-edge features that do not cost any extra such as HTTP/2, Brotli support, origin shield, etc. They also have a lot of great documentation on their knowledgebase site and provide lots of insight into performance improvement tips on their blog site.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

Not much to dislike about the service. Fast support, fast CDN, and an affordable price. One thing that users with a lot of websites should be aware of though is that there is an additional charge of $1/zone/month once you start using over 5 zones.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm now able to accelerate my site globally. As my site has visitors from all around the world, I was receiving complaints from time to time that the site was slow before implementing KeyCDN. Now I'm able to deliver my static files much faster no visitors no matter where they are.

"Cheap but Effective CDN"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

I like how easy to setup it is. They have plenty of powerful features. like Free SSL via Let's encrypt and HTTP2 support. They also offer zone aliases, which is something that I love because it looks professional. They're also the cheapest service I've found on the market, but they're a really good CDN.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

You have to consume your credits within a year or they expire.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Great value CDN with free custom SSL (let'sencrypt), HTTP2, and good documentation"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

*Features: HTTP2 support... Free custom SSL (let'sencrypt support)... Wordpress integration plugin... Prepay system allows control over spend. *Security: Two-factor authentication... hotlink protection. *Documentation: Good documentation as well as regular newsletters with tips and tricks about how to implement CDN features as well as articles of use to website administrators. Very helpful knowledge base with a good getting started guide for those new to CDNs. *Price: I've found this to be really great value over the past year compared to other CDN providers that I've researched. *Payment options: Ability to pay with Paypal. *Dashboard: Clean, clear information provided in the dashboard (usage etc). *Support: The few times I've needed to contact the support team, they've been quick to respond with thoughtful and helpful answers.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

The 5 zone limit (although I understand you can pay extra for extra zones), although the limit hasn't affected our site so far as we don't need more than 5. It is something to be aware of if you need more than 5. Prepay credits expire after 1 year. Having an expiry is understandable, but for websites with little traffic it is good to be aware that you might not be able to use up the credit within the year. It would be great to have a system where credits rollover if you top up your account before expiry. Having said that, it's still good value with the minimum topup since you get all of the features that some other providers charge a lot for (custom SSL, etc).

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

The implementation of a CDN for our site was done to solve the problem of variable page-load speeds depending on where in the world the visitor was browsing from. Implementing KeyCDN has helped reduce the pageload time for the site generally. As well, I've since come to learn the other benefits of a KeyCDN, namely, reduced load on the origin server, usage analytics, hotlink protection, and so on. The problem when looking to implement a CDN was that some of the other providers I looked at were charging exorbitant fees for something like a custom SSL certificate, or they didn't have features like HTTP2. KeyCDN has provided a really great benefit to our site in terms of performance, price, features, and support (including documentation and understanding the technical side to a CDN implementation).

"KeyCDN is really a good CDN service supporting HSTS, HTTP/2"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

They have all possible practical features for the HTTP/2 HSTS websites. Easy usage of SFTP software, rsync. Logs.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

One time upfront payment. They possibly need a pay as you go plan. Lack of own anycast network. Limit of 5 zones. Raw log not available to block from server side with own rules.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have multiple accounts. For public usage, one can check my technology blog https://thecustomizewindows.com on webpagetest. Our that website needed a faster CDN. We used all possible CDN over past 5 years.

"I have found the cheapest, and fastest CDN for any company, or any size!"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

1) The Pricing The #1 factor I love about KeyCDN would be, hands down, their pricing. If you have a small budget (like me) or if you have a corporate budget, both works great with KeyCDN with their "Pay as you GO" pricing. You only pay what you use for, instead of a monthly subscription payments. At the lowest price on the web of $0.04/GB; I made my mind up this was the company to stick with! 2) Expandable (Grows as your grow) You only pay for what you use is extremely important when you start off small. You save money and only spend what is necessary. As I get more money in, I can afford to pay more money out. 3) Free SSL (Huge plus for me) I love to see my https on my blog. Thanks for using Cloudflare and now KeyCDN, all of my site loads on the https protocol and it didn't cost me but pennies. I'm a firm believer that https should be the default for new websites being made. It makes sense, it's more secure, and it's just awesome. 4) Nobody can beat KeyCDN's current model I can honestly say, after a week of researching and comparing prices and benefits with CDN companies, no one currently beats KeyCDN because of the benefits I've listed above. Pricing, Free SSD optimized servers, POP Edge Servers, Free SSL, and it's expandable. You can grow your CDN bandwidth with your business growth.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

1) Limit of 5 zones for free This is more of a neutral for me. When I compare the fact I get 5 zones for free from KeyCDN to other companies, I see it's more than what the competition is giving, but it's still a downer to me since I use multiple websites (over 10.) So it's not a huge deal but it's still worth mentioning. Extra zones over the limit 5 is $1 from your account balance every recurring month. 2) Not advertised enough I honestly think KeyCDN could win over thousands if not millions of customers from other CDN companies just because they offer a better business model. I really think if KeyCDN was to start advertising campaigns that were modern and aimed towards webmasters around the web, they could get more business. So I dislike that it took me this long to find them. I would have joined them a long time ago if only I saw an ad earlier!

"One year experience with KeyCDN"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

Easy to setup and monitor load via web interface, all resources are automatically pulled and cached I just need to put Keycdn url and it's ready to use.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

Maybe overkill for small projects since unused credits are valid one year after payment.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

I tried to minimize content load times for worldwide visitors and I can say that that task was successful.

"Fast, reliable, good support"

We have been with KeyCDN for a number of years, it's fast and reliable. A big advantage is that you get support as part of the price (which is not the case with other players suchas AWS and Azure)

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

Would be great if credits don't expire within one year.

We really like the fact that you are billed on a per gigabyte basis, meaning you don't have to pay for unused bandwidth. Secondly it's very fast, reliable and the dashboard is a pleasure to use.

So far, so good - haven't run into any issues using the platform.

"One of the CDN services out there KeyCDN"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

It's a powerful cdn service just like maxCDN for a fraction of the price. It's cheaper because it lack some of maxCDN included features, but those are optional for a lot of people so the trade is ok.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

It could use some minor improvements in support service. Other than that it's a great service to use for small and big projects.

"KeyCDN the best competitor of maxCDN"
What do you like best about KeyCDN?

Keycdn is almost like maxcdn (i talk this way because i used maxcdn before using keycdn) it's full of features and is cheaper! They offer free secure tokens, origin shield and they even block bots attacking your site. The monthly fee is also cheaper.

What do you dislike about KeyCDN?

Nothing to dislike keycdn should grow well as they are doing right now.

What problems is KeyCDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

Content caching, site protection, content delivery , site speed up.
