PageGuard vs BunnyCDN

bunny.net delivers static websites from 114+ global PoPs with Edge Storage, image optimization, and video CDN — but as a CDN platform it has no WCAG accessibility audit, no Core Web Vitals scoring, and no post-deployment front-end quality monitoring. PageGuard audits any bunny.net-delivered website externally — free, no bunny.net account access needed, results in 30 seconds.

ADA Title II Deadline: April 24, 2026

State and local government websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026. Government agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions hosting public-facing static websites behind bunny.net CDN face this compliance deadline. Automated deployments through GitHub Actions or CI/CD pipelines can push new HTML files to bunny.net Edge Storage with accessibility regressions and immediately serve them globally to all 114+ CDN PoPs without any WCAG quality gate at the CDN layer. PageGuard monitors the live production URL continuously without requiring bunny.net account access, API keys, or pull zone modifications.

Feature Comparison

Feature PageGuard BunnyCDN
What is it? External website health monitor — scans any deployed URL for performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices BunnyCDN (bunny.net) is a high-performance CDN and edge cloud platform founded in 2017 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, offering content delivery, Edge Storage (object storage), BunnyStream video CDN, BunnyDNS, and image/file optimization; bunny.net operates 114+ PoPs (Points of Presence) across six continents providing ultra-low-latency global content delivery; bunny.net's pricing model is usage-based: CDN bandwidth from $0.01/GB (Americas/Europe) and $0.06/GB (Asia-Pacific/South America), Edge Storage from $0.02/GB/month with 10 TB free per month on the free tier, no per-request fees; bunny.net Edge Storage is a globally replicated object storage service that can serve static website files directly via CDN with automatic replication across 9 global storage zones; bunny.net Optimizer provides on-the-fly image resizing, WebP conversion, smart cropping, and CSS/JavaScript minification at the CDN layer; bunny.net is used by developers hosting static websites (Hugo, Next.js static export, Astro, Eleventy, Gatsby) behind bunny.net CDN for fast global delivery with custom SSL; bunny.net does not analyze the HTML accessibility quality, WCAG compliance, or Core Web Vitals user experience metrics of websites it delivers
Free tier Yes — unlimited one-off scans, no signup required Yes — bunny.net offers 10 TB free Edge Storage per month + free DNS + limited CDN trial bandwidth; Edge Storage at $0.02/GB/month after free tier; however, the bunny.net free tier includes no WCAG accessibility auditing, no Core Web Vitals measurement, and no ADA compliance monitoring capability for websites delivered through its CDN or stored in Edge Storage
Accessibility audit (WCAG / ADA) Yes — WCAG 2.1 AA scored 0–100 with specific issue list No — bunny.net is a CDN and edge storage platform that delivers bytes without analyzing the HTML accessibility quality of the content it serves; bunny.net has no built-in WCAG compliance checking, accessibility scoring, or ADA compliance monitoring; bunny.net Edge Storage and CDN do not understand color contrast ratios, ARIA attribute usage, missing alt text, heading hierarchy, keyboard navigation accessibility, focus management, or any WCAG 2.1 AA success criterion in the HTML files they cache and deliver; the WCAG accessibility quality of a bunny.net-hosted website is determined entirely by the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files stored in Edge Storage — not by bunny.net's CDN layer
Technical SEO audit Yes — meta tags, headings, canonical, structured data No — bunny.net provides no SEO audit scores, meta tag validation, heading hierarchy analysis, canonical URL checking, or structured data verification for HTML files delivered through its CDN or stored in Edge Storage; bunny.net's CDN analytics show request counts, bandwidth usage, cache hit ratios, and geographic traffic distribution — not the SEO quality of the HTML content being delivered; bunny.net does not generate or validate robots.txt or sitemap.xml files for websites it hosts
Performance audit (Core Web Vitals) Yes — LCP, CLS, FCP scored 0–100 per scan No — bunny.net CDN analytics measure server-side metrics such as requests per second, bandwidth throughput, cache hit ratio (typically 95–99%), and origin shield offload percentage; bunny.net does not measure browser-side Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FCP, INP, TTFB) as experienced by real users; bunny.net's global CDN network of 114+ PoPs significantly reduces TTFB for cacheable static assets, but the actual Core Web Vitals scores experienced by users depend on the HTML structure, JavaScript execution, image dimensions, and web font loading — factors not monitored by bunny.net's CDN layer; measuring production Core Web Vitals for bunny.net-delivered websites requires external tooling
Global CDN delivery with 114+ PoPs No — PageGuard is an external monitoring tool, not a CDN or content delivery service Yes — bunny.net core value proposition: 114+ global PoPs across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Africa, and the Middle East providing ultra-low-latency content delivery; smart global load balancing routes requests to the nearest PoP automatically; Edge Storage with 9 global replication zones (NY, LA, Stockholm, São Paulo, Singapore, Sydney, Johannesburg, Tel Aviv, Tokyo) ensures content is physically close to users; bunny.net CDN pricing from $0.01/GB bandwidth in Americas and Europe, $0.03/GB in Oceania, $0.06/GB in Asia; Perma-Cache stores permanent copies of origin files even after cache expiry; Origin Shield with 21 locations reduces load on the origin server; bunny.net also offers BunnyStream for video CDN, bunny.net Optimizer for real-time image resizing and WebP conversion, and BunnyScript for serverless edge functions written in JavaScript
Automated website monitoring Yes — weekly or daily scans with email alerts on score drop No — bunny.net does not perform automated quality monitoring of WCAG compliance, Core Web Vitals, or SEO quality for websites delivered through its CDN; bunny.net provides CDN analytics dashboards showing bandwidth usage, request volume, cache hit ratio, and geographic traffic distribution — not front-end accessibility regressions, Core Web Vitals degradation alerts, or SEO issues in the HTML files being cached and delivered; automated front-end quality monitoring of bunny.net-delivered websites requires a separate external monitoring tool
AI-generated plain-English report Yes — explains issues in non-technical language No — bunny.net provides no AI-generated health report or plain-English explanation of front-end accessibility, SEO, or Core Web Vitals issues; the bunny.net dashboard shows CDN performance metrics, bandwidth billing, cache statistics, and storage usage — not front-end quality analysis of the website content being cached and delivered
ADA Title II compliance monitoring Yes — WCAG audit + alert on accessibility regression No — bunny.net does not audit or alert on WCAG compliance for HTML files delivered through its CDN network or stored in Edge Storage; government agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions hosting public-facing static websites behind bunny.net CDN face ADA Title II compliance requirements with an April 24, 2026 deadline; automated deployments through GitHub Actions or CI/CD pipelines that push new HTML files to bunny.net Edge Storage can introduce WCAG accessibility regressions and immediately serve them globally to 114+ CDN PoPs without any WCAG quality gate at the CDN layer; continuous WCAG monitoring of the production URL requires a separate external tool like PageGuard
Works on any deployed platform Yes — scans any URL on any hosting or platform bunny.net CDN delivers content from bunny.net Edge Storage and connected origin servers; it does not scan or monitor the front-end quality of websites hosted on AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or other platforms; bunny.net focuses exclusively on its own CDN delivery operations without cross-platform front-end quality monitoring capability
Independent external audit Yes — third-party scan, shareable URL for clients/stakeholders No — bunny.net provides no built-in tool to generate a shareable external front-end health report for websites it delivers; the bunny.net dashboard and API show CDN bandwidth metrics, cache statistics, storage usage, and billing data — not WCAG accessibility scores or Core Web Vitals quality scores shareable with clients, procurement teams, or ADA compliance auditors
Instant on-demand scan Yes — results in 30 seconds, no code changes needed No — no on-demand front-end health scan of websites delivered through bunny.net CDN; auditing a bunny.net-hosted website for WCAG accessibility, Core Web Vitals, or SEO quality requires running third-party tools against the public custom domain or Edge Storage URL; bunny.net has no concept of scanning the HTML accessibility or performance quality of the static files it delivers through its global CDN network
Multi-site dashboard Yes — 1–50 sites depending on plan The bunny.net dashboard shows all pull zones, Edge Storage zones, and DNS zones within an account with bandwidth usage, request counts, and storage statistics — there is no cross-website front-end health dashboard showing WCAG compliance, SEO quality, or Core Web Vitals for multiple websites delivered through bunny.net CDN
Pricing for health monitoring Free + from $9/mo for automated monitoring Front-end health monitoring not available — bunny.net CDN from $0.01/GB bandwidth + Edge Storage from $0.02/GB/month (10 TB free/month), BunnyStream video CDN from $0.0045/minute storage; no front-end quality monitoring at any spend level

Use PageGuard alongside bunny.net if you…

  • Host government, nonprofit, or university static websites in bunny.net Edge Storage and need ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 AA compliance verification before the April 24, 2026 deadline
  • Use GitHub Actions, the bunny.net Storage API, or rsync to automate deployments to Edge Storage and want automated WCAG health checks after each upload to catch front-end accessibility regressions in generated HTML before they reach global CDN PoPs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PageGuard audit a website delivered through bunny.net CDN?

Yes — PageGuard scans any public URL regardless of whether the website is delivered through bunny.net CDN, Cloudflare, or any other CDN. Paste your bunny.net website URL into PageGuard for a full health report covering WCAG accessibility, Core Web Vitals, SEO, and best practices in ~30 seconds. No bunny.net account, API keys, or pull zone modifications required.

Does bunny.net check website accessibility or WCAG compliance?

No — bunny.net is a CDN and edge storage platform that delivers cached file bytes without analyzing content quality. It has no built-in WCAG compliance checking, accessibility scoring, or ADA compliance monitoring for HTML files cached and delivered through its 114+ global PoPs. bunny.net provides CDN analytics (bandwidth, cache hit ratio, requests) and storage usage — not browser-side user experience quality metrics. PageGuard audits the live rendered URL and provides a WCAG 2.1 AA score with specific issues to fix.

Can a bunny.net Edge Storage deployment introduce accessibility regressions?

Yes — automated deployments through GitHub Actions, the bunny.net Storage API, or rsync that upload new HTML files to Edge Storage can introduce WCAG accessibility regressions without any quality gate at the CDN layer. Static site generators (Hugo, Gatsby, Next.js static export, Eleventy, Astro) regenerating templates can break heading hierarchy, remove alt text from images, or introduce missing ARIA labels. bunny.net then immediately replicates and serves these regressed files across all 9 Edge Storage zones and 114+ CDN PoPs globally. PageGuard's automated monitoring detects these front-end regressions in the live production URL after each deployment.

Is PageGuard a replacement for bunny.net CDN?

No — they serve completely different purposes. bunny.net is a high-performance global CDN delivering static assets and websites from 114+ PoPs at ultra-low latency, with Edge Storage (9 global replication zones), Optimizer for real-time image resizing and WebP conversion, BunnyStream video CDN, and BunnyScript serverless edge functions. PageGuard is an external quality monitoring tool that audits the front-end HTML delivered to users for WCAG compliance, Core Web Vitals, and SEO quality. Organizations using bunny.net CDN to deliver static websites should add PageGuard to continuously verify front-end health at the production URL after each deployment to Edge Storage.
