Visão geral de preços do StackPath

Unlike other CDNs, StackPath felt more easier to work with and gives maximum performance, especially when handling heavy files like 4K videos in the cloud.

The pricing structure is a little too expensive when compared with other CDN providers in the market. But the performance justifies the price.

After adding StackPath, our website has started loading 30% faster (TTFB lowered considerably). The overall loading time reduced drastically globally.

The best thing about StackPath is that they are a one-stop shop for CDN, WAF, and many other related services.

StackPath support is quick to respond, but over the last two-years the reliability of their services has declined. They have many issues with their network and seem to have a culture of blaming the customer for any reported issues.

The global presence of the StackPath platform has allowed us to improve the performance and security of our own platform.

They are good for small companies (lower six figures and below) that are looking for protection of their website endpoints. They can block most small attacks and have API protection.

I have been a customer for two years at Stackpath. I can only recommend them if you are relatively small and need API protection. Once you are bigger and may expect some attacks, with a somewhat large user base and revenue on the line, I recommend moving away from them ASAP and moving to something like Cloudflare enterprise. Cloudflare enterprise may be way more expensive (x5 and up), but you at least have three ways to reach them properly in case of emergencies compared to the Stackpath chat, where with luck, you get someone with a little higher tier of support. Stackpath also had phone support, but the last time we called them, they either didn't pick up or weren't understandable. At Stackpath, you can expect to wait hours before you get a proper reply, if at all, whenever there is an issue. They don't seem to care or realize the impact they can have on businesses if their services don't function as intended. With the most recent issue, our dashboard got attacked. For some reason, Stackpath has their edge scripts in front of their WAF, both of which we used. As a result, Stackpath had to disable our website two days in a row because their infrastructure couldn't handle it. They were kind enough to tell me their SLA would provide me with a $7 credit, but after internal negotiation with their support VP, they got approval for a $100 credit. Our payment that month was $3600, all because their scripts are in front of their WAF, and their scripts are usage-based. For reference, on an average month, we paid $700. That's to say, $100 is far from enough. I can't even begin to mention to you what it costs us in lost revenue beyond their payment. After moving to Cloudflare, we not only have better protection, but we also increased our website speed by 30-50% across the board. All within one week. TLDR; If you are big and have a lot of revenue on the line, move away from Stackpath; otherwise, they are fine.

Stackpath caused more issues for us recently than solving problems. Their WAF and DDoS protection was pretty good at stopping small attacks, but didn't really handle anything big.

The pricing and features. Startup program.

There is currently no support for web sockets.

Web application firewall + CDN

It takes few minutes of DNS settings, to get WAF and CDN active on your website. Support also is good to solve issues. After website setup, you can modify settings and rules about attack filtering, or cdn enabled or not i.e.

They changed pricing, so now it's a bit expensive.

We're protecting our websites from being attacked or under DDoS. CDN also help us to get less load on our origin servers.

I find StackPath to be a designed and less user friendly content delivery network. Their customer support needs to be more responsive their documentation is also not very helpful. The pricing structure seems a bit higher compared to competitors.

The effectiveness of StackPaths WAF and DDoS protection against large scale attacks has been questionable leading to complications in resolving them. There is also a learning curve when integrating StackPath into a website, which results in errors.

The global presence of the platform does not fully solve performance and security concerns. It serves as an alternative, to Cloudflare by providing poor content delivery services.
