CdnSim

CdnSim is an interactive CDN (Content Delivery Network) cost and performance estimator. It's designed for website owners, developers, and businesses to forecast monthly CDN bandwidth costs and understand the potential performance benefits based on their specific audience geography. How it works step-by-step: Input Core Metrics: The user starts by entering their website's key metrics: the Average Page Size (in MB) and the total number of Monthly Visitors. Define User Distribution: Using intuitive sliders, the user adjusts the percentage of their traffic coming from four major geographic regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The sliders are interconnected, always ensuring the total distribution adds up to 100%. Set Regional Pricing: The user inputs the specific per-GB data transfer costs for their chosen CDN provider in each of the four regions. This allows the tool to work with any CDN's pricing model. Analyze the Real-time Dashboard: As soon as any value is changed, the main dashboard updates instantly with three critical estimations: Total Data Transfer: The total estimated bandwidth in GB that will be served per month. Avg. Latency Improvement: An estimated percentage of how much faster the site will feel to the average user, calculated from predefined latency values with and without a CDN. Estimated Monthly Cost: The final projected monthly
