The practical CDN reference for image-heavy sites. Real cost math, no vendor pitch.
The Image CDN (https://theimagecdn.com/) is an independent reference for image CDNs and image optimisation. Guides compare BunnyCDN, Cloudflare Images, ImageKit, Cloudinary and others on price, format support and performance, with cost maths from real bills. Every guide starts from a real build. Pricing is sourced from vendor pages and dated, and free-tier numbers are stress-tested rather than copied. Topics include picking a CDN, setup, formats (WebP vs AVIF vs JPEG, JPEG XL, HEIC), lazy loading and LCP. There are also free image tools with no sign-up: an image compressor and WebP, PNG, HEIC and PDF converters. Independent and not affiliated with any CDN provider; some BunnyCDN links are affiliate links and are disclosed.
