I'm Sorry Netlify

I’ve used Netlify for years on my website and it’s a fantastic service! As I’ve grown it’s becoming unaffordable. I submitted a support request and this is what happened…

I had no idea Cloudflare had something like this. Netlify is something like magic for us low bandwidth guys.

Thanks Chris. Way above my pay grade, but you share so much with all of us.

A major upvote for using Hugo. Great minds and all of that.

I'm late to the party, 2 months later but I've to THANK YOU a lot. I been tinkering with other Cloudflare stuff and I love to know I've the option to migrate all Netlify stuff into my own Cloudflare and centrilized space. Love Netlify! But having this inside cloudflare is a really good point as well + all the other related features Cloudflare offers.

Really nice content! Keep it up!!

You've outgrown Netlify.
Netlify is dead, Long live Netlify !

What am I missing that requires that much bandwitch for a blog?? Unless I'm missing smth it could be optimised a lot with workers and cache...

CF are really awesome.... though they can get expensive when you have multiple domains all on pro or business plans...
Enterprise is ~ $3k/mo, but you have unlimited on that.... so i guess it depends on your business etc.

Well, thank you for turning me on to Netlify, which I still use to this day for my site.

Just had to watch half of this again - realised that I was so focused on the blurred out section on screen that I missed the details!

Think I need more coffee...

My website has a performance score of 92%. The only issue is with Content Layout Shift (CLS) of 0.2. It seems the main landmark is the biggest offender when it comes to CLS, but that is because I have a header image that automatically resizes depending on the browser's size. The header image's resolution is 1500 by 500 pixels, so it's a 3-to-1 ratio. The width in CSS for the main header is set to 100%. I tried either auto or 33.3333% for height but that did not change. Any ideas on how to fix the CLS issue? I am trying to get my performance up to 100%. Also, I cannot list my domain name without having my comment deleted by YouTube.)

Last, but not least, I do not use a CDN for privacy/GDPR reasons.

Update: Fixed it! Just specify the explicit width and height of the image and have CSS set the width to 100%. That should bring it up to 97% from 92% for performance.

Love your site has been indispensable to me while I learned Linux, and macOS.

[zameerpashablr]

Than k you so much, Basically from India, being a beginner in Linux, At least in a day, i visit twice or thrice to your web page. I love your work.

I've got GBs worth of stuff at blogger that I'd like to migrate away from Google, so I've been keeping my eye out for what others are doing. The process of moving is what is causing me to pause.

[developerpranav]

Vercel and Google Firebase are also worth considering. Vercel is my preferred one, as it is cheaper and more value for money.

[tuckerhigley]

Hey Chris, do you use service workers for local cache to save bandwidth?

I recently started using them and love service workers!

[AliciaSykes]

Have you considered using Partytown or something similar for those slow-running ad/analytics loads?
But also I'm curious how your bandwidth consumption is so high for that hit count, I'd guess that ther'd be some optimizations you could make to stay within the Netlify Pro limit

[tobiasfalk]

What on earth does create so much traffic on that site? It looks almost minimal and light.

7:06 i thought my school wifi blocked it lol, i guess not
