Infrastructure Upgrade: Dedicated Finland Server and CDN Removal for Faster Europe Performance

After extensive testing and analysis, I decided to stop using a CDN for content delivery and migrate to a dedicated server in Finland.

Why Remove the CDN?

The majority of traffic comes from Europe, and the server is already located in Europe. In this situation, a CDN becomes an expensive middle layer that charges for every gigabyte delivered. With high daily bandwidth and large request volume, the cost-to-benefit ratio no longer made sense.

What Changed

We rebuilt the delivery pipeline so files are served directly from the server. This reduces overhead, improves predictability, and keeps performance stable during peak traffic. The new infrastructure is designed for fast response times, high concurrency, and large storage capacity, with modern SSD performance and sufficient resources for continuous growth.

What This Means for Users

You should see faster and more consistent loading, especially across Europe, with fewer delivery errors and less variability during spikes. This upgrade also simplifies the architecture, which makes future optimization and maintenance easier.

Thank you for using the platform and supporting the project as it scales.
