Policies

GitHub Pages applies a soft bandwidth limit of approximately 100 GB per month per site and a soft request limit aimed at preventing abuse. Excessive traffic may be throttled or temporarily blocked at GitHub's discretion. No per-key quota — limits are aggregated across all consumers of the site.
jsDelivr's public CDN has no documented per-IP rate limit but enforces fair-use anti-abuse rules. Single endpoints serving >100 TB/month of traffic may be reviewed. The CDN is the recommended consumption surface for high-volume clients.
