🚀 Announcing Locize Standard CDN: Fast, Simpler, and Generously Free!

December 10, 2025

Christmas is approaching and we have a gift for you!

We're thrilled to share some exciting news that will make your localization workflow even more efficient and cost-effective: Locize is launching its new Standard CDN, powered by the ultra-fast BunnyCDN! This new Content Delivery Network is now the default for all new locize projects, bringing significant advantages, especially for public-facing applications and open-source initiatives.

Why a New CDN?

At locize, we're constantly striving to optimize your experience, not just in managing translations but also in delivering them to your end-users. While our robust Pro CDN (based on AWS CloudFront) is serving you well, we identified an opportunity to provide an even more accessible option for a wide range of projects.

Enter the Standard CDN!

Introducing the Standard CDN (Powered by BunnyCDN)

Our new Standard CDN leverages the power of BunnyCDN, a leading provider known for its exceptional speed, global reach, and cost-efficiency. This means your users get their translations delivered faster than ever before, wherever they are in the world.

But that's not all! The Standard CDN comes with a fantastic benefit: your first 1,000,000 downloads per month are absolutely FREE! This makes it an incredibly attractive option for open-source projects, smaller websites, single-page applications (SPAs), and anyone looking to optimize their operational costs without compromising on speed.

Key Benefits of the Standard CDN:

  • Blazing Fast Delivery: Powered by BunnyCDN's extensive global network, your translations reach your users with minimal latency.
  • Generous Free Tier: Enjoy 1,000,000 free downloads every month. This significantly reduces costs for many projects.
  • Simplicity by Default: It's now the default for all new projects, meaning you get these benefits right out of the box.
  • Ideal for Public Content: Perfect for websites, blogs, and applications where translation files are publicly accessible.

What's the Difference Between Standard and Pro CDN?

To ensure you choose the best fit for your project, we now offer two distinct CDN types:

How to Use the Standard CDN

For new projects, the Standard CDN is already active by default.

If you're an existing locize user and wish to switch your project to the Standard CDN, you can easily do so in your project settings:

And for developers, we've made sure our tools seamlessly integrate with the new option:

  • locize-cli: Use --cdn-type standard
  • i18next-locize-backend: Set cdnType: 'standard' in your backend options. (Requires v7.0.0 or higher)
  • locizify / locizer: Set cdnType="standard" in your script tag or cdnType: 'standard' in the init options.

We've updated our documentation to provide details on both CDN types, including pricing and integration guides.
