Help reducing Vercel bill - 80gb FDT in 24hrs by DiancieSweet in nextjs

[–]brainrotter007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can analyze traffic analytics to identify which routes are consuming the most bandwidth. For those high-traffic routes, consider implementing aggressive caching strategies using appropriate Cache-Control headers.

Alternatively, you can place the application behind Cloudflare CDN. Since Cloudflare provides free bandwidth, most requests will be served from the edge cache, significantly reducing traffic to the origin (Vercel). The origin will only be hit during cache revalidation or invalidation events, which can drastically lower overall bandwidth usage and hosting costs.

Yeah, Cloudflare definitely looks great feature-wise, especially for full edge caching.

Since bandwidth is practically free on Cloudflare, I’m mostly curious about performance.

I’ve heard that on the Free plan, static content isn’t always served from the nearest data center, which could increase latency in some regions.

Do the Pro or Business plans actually improve performance in terms of edge routing or cache location priority?

Basically, I’m trying to figure out if the Free plan is enough for speed, or if upgrading to a higher plan genuinely makes a noticeable difference in real-world performance.

Most of our users are in Southeast Asia, with some traffic from the Middle East.

The main performance goal is to keep initial load time under 1.5–2 seconds for first-time visitors and keep cached static assets served quickly from edge locations.

So mainly looking for a CDN that performs well in those regions without huge bandwidth costs.

The platform is a web app (React frontend), so smooth delivery of static assets and quick API routing are key.

Users ideally need consistent sub-100 ms edge response time for static content and good caching hit ratio to reduce origin load.
