CDNs, Bot Traffic & the Future of the Edge

In this episode of WP Legends, Graeme Inglis shares his journey from international business and channel marketing at Vin Magic to leading strategic partnerships at bunny.net, one of the fastest, most developer-loved content delivery and edge platforms in the world.

They explore what a CDN actually does in plain terms, why bot traffic now outweighs human traffic across the internet, how a single bot farm can quietly drive up a hosting bill by thousands of dollars, where WordPress fits into an AI-first web, and what most companies get wrong when building partnerships meant to last.
