There is an old site site.ru, hosting in Russia. The server is located in the USA. But the audience of the site is also in Russia. The content delivery is very slow. The issue of moving the server closer has not yet been resolved. Accordingly, the question of CDN has arisen. Please advise:

  1. Cheap CDN, the servers of which are located in the Russian Federation. The site is on Bitrix,
  2. Is it use to place on Yandex Disk or Google Drive as a CDN for hosting static (css, js, jpg, webp, avif)? I understand that in this case you will have to register a lot of addresses on the site. But the question is about the general possibility of using Yandex Disk or Google Drive to host image, css, js files?

You can't really use Yandex Disk or Google Drive as a proper CDN for hosting static assets like CSS, JS, or images. These services aren't designed for direct web asset delivery and come with limitations like:

No proper HTTP headers for static files. Rate limiting and download restrictions. Lack of custom domains or CNAME support. No edge caching or optimization, which defeats the purpose of a CDN.

Here are some CDNs that have servers in the Russian Federation and are known to be budget-friendly:

Selectel CDN, CDNvideo, Timeweb CDN

Don't use Yandex Disk or Google Drive for static file hosting—it’s not viable as a CDN. Use a proper CDN like Selectel, CDNvideo, or G-Core Labs for Russian delivery and Bitrix compatibility.
