  2. Amazon CloudFront logo

    Best for: Teams hosting on AWS who want a CDN tightly wired into S3, load balancers and AWS security tools

    Free plan + paidWeb

    61.8

    score / 100

    Why switch from Sucuri

    Pairs with AWS WAF and Shield for sites already hosted on AWS, billed by usage rather than a flat plan.

    Pros

    • Large global network of points of presence
    • Close integration with S3, EC2, load balancers and AWS WAF
    • Edge code through CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge
    • Flat-rate plans, including a free one, avoid surprise overage bills

    Cons

    • AWS console and IAM setup is complex for newcomers
    • Pay-as-you-go bills are hard to predict across multiple meters
    • Fits best inside AWS; less convenient as a standalone CDN
