::CDN77 was chosen for its great number of Points of Presence (PoP), its apparent reliability, and its extremely low prices (2-2.5x less than competitors). Note that CDN77 does not manipulate the content like CloudFlare does: it just serves the content you would formerly access directly from Orain's servers. I don't see any reason not to trust scripts from our CDN. [[User:Kudu|Kudu]] ([[User talk:Kudu|talk]]) 22:01, 21 October 2013 (UTC) |

Here are the prices and characteristics for several CDNs: |
|||
* CDN77: $0.05/GB of traffic, free storage, $99 minimum (expires in a year) |
|||
* CDNify: $0.06/GB of traffic, free storage, $30 minimum, no servers in Eastern Asia or Australia |
|||
* CloudFlare: $20/mo, no traffic or storage limit, no push |
|||
* CloudFront: $0.12/GB of traffic |
|||
* MaxCDN: $10/mo, 100GB traffic limit, no storage limit |
|||
They all do well in [http://www.cedexis.com/country-reports/ Cedexis' tests] in North America and Europe. I think going CDNify and CloudFront are the best options: CDNify is a little bit cheaper, but CloudFront has a more balanced network and the difference in price will be very small.

We're now using a CDN for static resources. Requests will be up to twice as fast. Kudu (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
- I see that you're using CDN77's worldssl.net for this. I use Web Of Trust (WOT) as a browser add-on to crowdsource reputation opinions before I allow third-party scripts to run in my browser. WOT advises that cdn77.com has a poor reputation so I have blocked it using NoScript. My Orain webpages now all look screwy, as one might expect, as you have moved the static content to CDN77.com. Can you give us more information about the CDN decision? AugurNZ ✐⌕ 04:34, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
