Or you can host a mirror at home on a raspberry pi and redirect the dns when you have to.

There is a TTL you can set in your record. Yes, you can set it to a second.

However, the case of a static website is not really hitting me as something can't afford a few seconds downtime...

In my experience I can set the TTL to whatever value I want, last mile providers don't really give a shit about that and just cache it for how long they want.
