Do I need a CDN for a site in Russia (most of the traffic) + - CIS countries?

Question

CDN

Is it worth installing a CDN - will it give a significant increase in download speed on a site with a Russian audience? Hosting of course in Russia.

Answer 1

CDN will give you a speed boost. And how significant it will be depends on where your audience is located relative to your source: if it is far away, the CDN will please your audience)
Come to the test: G-Core Labs has a free CDN trial for 14 days (limited to 300 GB of traffic). You can register yourself on the site, the tariffs are published on this page.
By the way, we have 19 locations in Russia and the CIS.
