What you're charged

A CDN zone has two components on the bill:

  • The plan's base price, shown monthly and hourly. It's what buys you the zone's max origins, rules per zone and, on higher plans, Custom SSL.
  • Bandwidth, charged per GB delivered at a rate that varies by region. This tab lists the rate for each region so you can see exactly what traffic from each part of the world costs.

Regional rates differ because transit costs differ. Traffic served to some regions is materially more expensive than others, which matters if your audience isn't where you assume it is — check Requests by PoP in Analytics to find out where your bytes actually go.

Keeping the bill down

Bandwidth is the part that grows with success, and it's the part you control:

  • Raise the cache hit rate. Every cache hit is bandwidth you'd pay for either way, but it's also an origin fetch you don't pay for and a request your server never sees. Cache rules on static assets are the highest-leverage change available.
  • Find the heavy URLs. Sort Top URLs by bandwidth in Analytics. A single large uncached file is the usual explanation for a surprising invoice.
  • Cap runaway paths. A WAF Limit Bandwidth rule sets a monthly ceiling in GB for matching traffic, and Limit Download Speed stops a few big downloads saturating everything else.
  • Stop serving people who aren't customers. Scrapers and hotlinkers cost real money. Block by country or User Agent, or put the content behind signed URLs.

Your actual charges appear on the invoices and in the usage logs.
