two leading Free CDN providers in the
world, which provide your blog the best security and speed in free.
Every day, thousands of bloggers
and developers join these CDN services to get the optimum results from their
blogs and websites respectively.
But, the most important thing
is that which CDN provider is better
for your blogging purpose?
So, in this article, I am
going to answer you about this two CDN
providers features and at last, a conclusion in which I give my opinion
–which is the best CDN provider for your blog.
CloudFlare
I had already written various
posts on the CloudFlare CDN provider,
you can refer it from the given links below.
Incapsula
Incapsula is one of the
leading CDN service company in the world, which makes your blog safer, faster
and more reliable.
CDN comparison based on features:
Location:
CloudFlare has 18 servers all
over the world - 10 in US, 4 in Europe and one each in Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore
and Tokyo
Incapsula has 10 servers all over the world –
4 in US, 4 in Europe and one each in Singapore and Tokyo.
Caching:
CloudFlare provides awesome
Facilities like JavaScript, HTML, CSS minifier and Rockspace Loader, which help
your site load faster.
Incapsula doesn’t provide you
such facility like Rockspace Loader, but it minifies your website code as same
as CloudFlare.
Bandwidth Limitations:
Incapsula provides your blog
50GB/month bandwidth only.
CloudFlare has no such
criteria of Bandwidth limit.
Installation:
To apply CloudFlare on your website,
you just have to change your DNS into rob.ns.cloudflare.com and
bob.ns.cloudflare.com.
To apply Incapsula on your
website, you just have to add a CNAME and A record in your domain CNAME and A
record list.
Analytics:
In CloudFlare, it provides
bot crawler, visitors and threats who visited your website after 24 hours.
In Incapsula, it provides Bot
crawler and visitor stats regularly without any delay, but it doesn’t provide
you the number of threats and attacks done on your site.
Conclusion
According to my experiences,
I prefer CloudFlare because it has much better facility than Incapsula and speed
wise, I again also prefer CloudFlare because when I am using CloudFlare, my
blog speed is 2.98s whereas I get 3.95s, when I use Incapsula in my blog(GTmetrix Data).
