We just launched CDNpulse — a service that shows how fast different CDNs deliver content to your actual users.
The problem
- Choosing a CDN is mostly guesswork today.
- Aggregated benchmarks (e.g. Perfops) don’t reflect your actual audience.
- Enterprise RUM solutions exist (e.g. Catchpoint at $2.5k/month), but they’re out of reach for most teams.
The solution
CDNpulse gives you:
- Drop in a small script on your site.
- See city-level load time data from your real users.
- Compare providers and verify that the chosen CDN really improves performance.
Why it matters
Choosing the right CDN can shave hundreds of milliseconds off page loads, which means lower bounce rates, happier customers, and higher conversions. Until now, these insights were mostly locked behind expensive enterprise tools.

If you’re comparing CDNs or planning a switch, I’d love to hear how this fits into your workflow and what would make it more useful.
