New description:

 We have a few issues with our blog.

 1. Our template is broken. Comments are displayed out of the intended
 layout.

 2. Our blog is generating a lot of page views and has become quite
 expensive (more below).

 Our blog has become quite popular and has received around 300k monthly
 "visitors" and above 1.5M "page loads".
 This is bumping our expenses significantly and we are evaluating various
 options regarding caching.

 - Using a CDN like Fastly, Netlify, or Cloudflare

 - Using Varnish

 Caching via Varnish could create a bottleneck for our blog and a single
 point of failure.

 In the medium term we could also evaluate what we want to do with our
 current blog.

 - There is a Drupal static caching project called Tome that we could use
 together with drupal comments from pantheon.

 - We could migrate the blog to a static content generator and use a
 separate system for comments.
