Caching & CDN Setup vs JavaScript Bundle Reduction
Which you need, what each costs, and when a project wants both — caching & cdn setup compared with javascript bundle reduction.
Last revised
Both sit under Web Performance & Accessibility, and clients regularly ask which of the two they actually want. The short answer is below; the rest of this page is how to tell, what each costs, and the cases where a project needs both.
The quick verdict
In short More often than the question implies — the same job frequently touches both, and one team covers them, so moving between them is a conversation rather than a second supplier. If you are not sure which your files need, that is what the free trial is for. The process is the same either way: whichever you pick, the work runs through the same stages and is checked against the same bar. Web Performance & Accessibility sets that out.

What each one is
- Caching & CDN Setup Configuring caching and a content delivery network so pages load quickly for visitors wherever they are.
- JavaScript Bundle Reduction Cutting the amount of JavaScript your pages download and run, which is usually the biggest cause of slow, unresponsive pages on phones.
Questions we get on this specific choice
Is one of them cheaper?
They start at the same rate, so the choice is about what the job needs rather than about budget. Complexity moves both.
Which is faster?
Much the same, and volume moves the number far more than the choice between these two does.
Can you tell me which one my files need?
Yes, free. Send two or three real files — that judgment is part of the trial rather than something quoted separately.
Can I switch after we start?
Yes. If the files say the other one is the right answer, we re-quote before doing the work rather than after.
