I put Cloudflare in front of my portfolio, which is hosted on Github Pages, so this made me do a bit of spit take. I always just assumed that GH Pages was a sort of “free perk for using Github” and that it must surely be hosted on “meh” infrastructure that would benefit from having a CDN in front. This article basically says that analysis is upside down.

I’ll need to see more benchmarks with a range of methodologies before I go in and redo how my portfolio is deployed, but this sure got me started searching.
