In their own words
QUIC.cloud CDN
QUIC.cloud CDN delivers WordPress site content through a CDN network and can cache dynamic WordPress content at the CDN level. Its network lists 78 points of presence across eight regions, while the Free Plan has six nodes in the USA and EU, unlimited bandwidth at selected points, and limited security. The Standard Plan includes 78 global nodes and up to 20GB free bandwidth per domain each month, then charges by region. Standard bandwidth rates are $0.02 per GB in North America and Europe except Russia, $0.04 in Russia, and $0.08 in Latin America, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa. LiteSpeed Cache integration supports dynamic and private caching, ESI, targeted purges based on WordPress events, WooCommerce, and bbPress; the service says caching works with non-LiteSpeed backend servers too. It supports HTTP/3 from the browser to the backend. Standard Plan security includes brute-force protection, CDN-level CAPTCHA, Layer-7 DDoS protection, custom-targeted protections, and Web Application Firewall rules. Allowlist and blocklist rules can filter by IP address, user agent, or geolocation. An optional built-in DNS service is described as free and capable of automated configuration.
