KeyCDN

What KeyCDN is

KeyCDN is a content delivery network that serves content from nearby points of presence. Customers can use Pull Zones to fetch content from an origin server or Push Zones to store uploaded files in KeyCDN storage. The service lists 60 edge locations, and describes a network of 60+ data centers in 40+ countries across six continents. Performance features include HTTP/2, IPv6, gzip and Brotli compression, byte-range requests, and HTTP Live Streaming. Image Processing can transform and optimize images in real time using query parameters. Security options include TLS, Secure Token, OCSP stapling, bad-bot blocking, DDoS protection, access rules, and two-factor authentication. Its REST API manages Zones, aliases, referrers, and reports through HTTPS requests authenticated with HTTP Basic Auth. Documented integrations include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, TYPO3, PrestaShop, and Laravel. Technical support is available 24/7 at no additional cost. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available without a credit card. Traffic is usage-priced: North America and Europe starts at $0.04 per GB for the first 10 TB per month; other regions have separate rates.

Who it suits

KeyCDN suits site operators who want to deliver content through Pull or Push Zones and use image processing or a REST API. Its listed integrations cover several content management and development platforms.

Limits

The trial lasts 14 days and there is no free plan. KeyCDN applies a $4 monthly minimum charge and a $49 minimum payment; the first three Zones are included, then each additional Zone costs $1 per month.
