New WAF/CDN's
Only one offers a free plan also
I must be upfront and TAGFEE I am a partner of Imperva the company that owns Incapula.
Incapula now has a free offer on their content delivery network, of course, there are two catches.
- If your site Is encrypted a.k.a. Using SSL or https:// you must choose a paid plan.
- You do not get access to their phenomenal rewrite rules which can speed up your site quite a bit. Still, if you have no or no intention to use https this is better than CloudFlare when it comes to speed plus much better when it comes to security, but you must pay for the safety on both networks
The second content delivery network is not free. But worth mentioning.
StackPath is a new CDN/WAF built on MaxCDN's network. However, it offers you so much more for the base price of $20 month compared to what that would cost on MaxCDN hundreds of dollars a month.
This CDN is unique because you get so much for the money. I bring it up only because people browsing this will hopefully find this useful.
Hopefully, this is of use people checking out this question.
All the best,
Tom

I use MaxCDN at my place of work, it has proved itself to be very good, easy to set up and relatively inexpensive depending on the plan. As per Thomas and Thomas - CloudFlare is great as a free version.
-
- amazon Cloudfront is the best...
-
As mentioned by Thomas, I would really have a look at cloudflare, their free plan for me personally performs much better than other paid content delivery networks.
-
A free content delivery network the best one would be https://www.cloudflare.com/ is completely free and very high-quality & very simple to set up and will accelerate your site quite a bit. with a network that keeps growing, I would say if you're looking for completely free this is the only way to go. Here's a larger photo of the one below.

**The same goes for Incapsula.com free plan, but if you do not log in often enough, they will turn it off on a free program. If you get their base paid offering, it is an incredible CDN as well. **
If you're looking to spend tiny bit more money but want a pure CDN to check out keyCDN CDNFi, CDN 77 Max CDN Rackspace CDN uses Akamai, and it's a bargain.
If Looking for great content delivery networks fastly, CacheFly.com, edge cast, Turbobytes

If you are looking for a higher quality CDN unique just content delivery CDN or information on CDN's, this is a list of reviews capabilities of each CDN and the cost and comparison
I hope this helps,

Using a US CDN (Cloudflare) for a UK Site. Should I use a UK Based CDN as it says my server is based in USA
Hi All, We are a UK Company with Uk customers only and use CloudFlare CND. Our Site is hosted by a UK company with servers here but from looking online and checking where my site is hosted etc etc , some sites are telling me the name of our UK Hosted company and other sites are telling me my site is hosted in San Fran (USA) , where I presume the Cloudflare is based. I know Cloudflare has a couple of servers in the UK it uses but given all my customers are UK based ,I don't want this is affect rankings etc , as I thought it was a ranking benefit to be hosted in the country you are based. Is there any issue with this and should I change or is google clever enough to know so i shouldn't worry. thanks Pet

Links / Metadata around Recent Posts etc in Wordpress / Blog - Good SEO Practice?
Hello In a Wordpress blog ( or part of an ecommerce site that runs under wordpress ) it is good to show recent posts in the sidebar on most pages. Obviously the posts aren't going to be relevant to every post , so my questions are: Is having these on the page hurting SEO for the page? Is there good metadata structure to put in there? ( like rel="nofollow" or similar ) Thoughts?

Linking to urls with Query Parameters good for SEO?
Hey guys, I am currently buying link ad spots on sites (hardcoded, not using ad networks). I track the each link I buy and the sales they generate with query parameters such as : http://www.mydomain.com/?r=top_menu_nav_on_seomoz My question is : do these links still pass link juice? I have my canonical already set to http://www.mydomain.com Also, in Webmaster tools I have it set to ignore anything after /?r= The way I see it, a link is a link. Naturally I would prefer to send directly to my root domain, however, these links cost a lot of money and I like to track my results. Does anyone have experience with SEO and working with query parameters?

Is slugs in the URL now a good thing?
Hi, Until now I've adviced a lot of web shops to avoid having long URL structures for their categories and products (aka. remove the useless slugs). Recently I discovered that Google started rolling out more and more results that looks like these screenshots: http://filer.crenia.no/McDn & http://filer.crenia.no/McYO (look at the URL in the SERP) I'm assuming the slugs are a vital part of creating these SERP results. Personally, I also think they look better and favor them compared to the old SERPs. Does anyone have any experience with these, what impact they have or any reason not to add slugs to URLs again?

Google Adsense Good for SEO?
Is there any merit to the statement that Google will give some SEO value to sites that display Adsense? Or is there absolutely no SEO value for or against a site that displays Adsense Ads? Clearly, it would benefit Google's finance to give at least a small boost to sites that display Adsense, but do they do it? My guess is no, but I'm wondering ...

Purchased new site with good SERP ranks, do I operate and build links or redirect the TLD?
I recently purchased a blog within my product category - it has many first page rankings for difficult keywords within my niche. I am wondering if it makes more sense for for me to continue to operate this blog and build links to my site and blog (blog is in wordpress) or to export the XML feed and upload the content to my blog (new site also in wordpress), at which point I would do a 301 at the Top-Level domain. Any thoughts, ideas, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
