Build leaner websites and don't overcomplicate things. You won't need CDNs and data-kraken like Cloudflare & Co.

A lean website (they call out haveibeenpwned) can still get billions of hits. CDNs were initially conceived to help with international / intercontinental latency, which you can't fix by having a leaner website. And there's a heap of problems to solve that you can either spend your own valuable time on, or outsource to a specialist.

Leaner websites can only reduce bandwidth strain, there's no impact on latency, right?
