      That would be terrible for a lot of people as they are the only company providing such services that doesn’t charge for traffic.

        They can use web.archive.org as a cdn(I do that to cloudflare websites). But honestly, cloudflare or not, the internet is broken.

          Using archive.org as a CDN at the scale of Cloudflare would be an immediate death sentence for archive.org.

            just take a snapshot of your website… then make all links to your website link to that snapshot, and turn your server off.

              Oh, well, it’s okay if it suits for you. Just not at all an alternative to cloudflare.
