Compare KeyCDN with other popular tools in the same category.
Pay as you go pricing feature. This can really help with small businesses in their initial phases. Free custom SSL. Slick interface, Real-time stats and logs, excellent (and fast) support.
I found the documentation a little hard to follow. It's well written but seems to breeze over steps that are not obvious to the fist-timer on the platform
Speeding up content for worldwide visitors.
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.
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).
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.
Very easy to use and great support, cheap service and free SSL
Nothing so far, I haven't seen anything that I don't like yet.
Useful to speed up my WordPress website and improve scores on GTMetrix and Pingdom
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.
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.
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.
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.
You have to consume your credits within a year or they expire.

HTTP2, SSL, the wordpress plugin. Great support Ease of deployment Good interface Best pricing
The purchased Credits expire after 1 year
Fast website that improves user experience
*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.
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).
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).
They have all possible practical features for the HTTP/2 HSTS websites. Easy usage of SFTP software, rsync. Logs.
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.
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.
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.
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!
