什么是Arc.io？ (What’s Arc.io?)

In their own words, “Arc is a peer-to-peer Content Delivery Network”. Basically, a tiny portion of your users’ bandwidth and CPU will be used to power Arc’s CDN. Arc promises that “it never impacts the user experience” and anyone can join the network, whether you have a single or a million monthly visitors.

用他们自己的话说 ，“ Arc是一个对等的内容交付网络”。 基本上，用户带宽和CPU的一小部分将用于为Arc的CDN供电。 Arc承诺“它永远不会影响用户体验”，无论您只有一个月的访客还是一百万的访客，任何人都可以加入网络。

Generating money from any kind of website without charging your users or showing them ads is an enticing promise. So I gave it a try!

从任何类型的网站中赚钱而不向用户收费或向他们显示广告是一个诱人的承诺。 因此，我尝试了一下！

Note that I’m not using Arc as a way to serve my assets, so this blog post is not about how fast and cheap Arc is as a CDN. It’s about:

请注意，我并不是将Arc用作服务资产的方式，因此，本博文不是关于Arc作为CDN的速度和价格如何。 是关于：

• How easy it is to setup
  设置有多容易
• Whether it really “never impacts the user experience” or not
  是否真的“从不影响用户体验”
• How much money it actually generates
  它实际产生多少钱
• The ethical implications of renting out your users’ bandwidth
  租用用户带宽的伦理意义

I tested Arc on my own little website.

我在自己的小型网站上测试了Arc。

Arc入门 (Getting started with Arc)

Setting up Arc was fairly easy. The whole process, from signing up to testing in production, took me less than an hour. It may take you a little longer if you’re not comfortable copy/pasting a few lines of code, but I think anyone tech savvy enough to have a website will be able to get around the challenge.

设置Arc相当容易。 从注册到生产测试的整个过程花了我不到一个小时的时间。 如果您不习惯复制/粘贴几行代码，则可能需要更长的时间，但是我认为任何精通网站的技术人员都可以解决这一挑战。

My website is built with Hugo as a Static Site Generator and hosted on Netlify. So the whole process was this:

我的网站是使用Hugo作为静态网站生成器构建的，并托管在Netlify上。 所以整个过程是这样的：

1. Add this line of code to my baseof.html file:
   将以下代码行添加到我的baseof.html文件中：

<script async src="https://arc.io/widget.js#jf2aUNG1"></script>

<script async src="https://arc.io/widget.js#jf2aUNG1"></script>

2. Add this rule to my netlify.toml file:

2.将此规则添加到我的netlify.toml文件中：

[[redirects]]  from = “/arc-sw.js”  to = “https://arc.io/arc-sw.js"  status = 200

Then I provided an email address to receive PayPal payments and that was pretty much it.

然后，我提供了一个电子邮件地址来接收PayPal付款，差不多了。

对用户体验的影响 (Impact on the user experience)

I ran Lighthouse tests before and after implementing Arc. Sadly, it doesn’t look like injecting Arc’s code is impact-less ☹️

在实施Arc之前和之后，我都进行了Lighthouse测试。 可悲的是，注入Arc的代码看起来并没有影响☹️

My score before implementing Arc:

实施Arc之前的得分：

Yeah, I’m that good.

是的，我很好。

After implementing Arc:

实施Arc之后：

Yikes!

kes！

Then I noticed errors were being logged in the console…

然后我注意到控制台中正在记录错误...

Yuck!

！

I wrote to Arc’s team about this, pointing out that some of the issues were easy fixes. They kindly replied that they will be fixing them “shortly”. I’m still eagerly waiting for those fixes in particular:

我写信给Arc的团队，指出某些问题很容易解决。 他们友好地回答说，他们将“很快”修复它们。 我仍然特别热切地等待这些修复程序：

• <frame\> or <iframe\> elements do not have a title — UPDATE: FIXED

  <frame \>或<iframe \>元素没有标题- 更新：已修复

• A cookie associated with a cross-site resource at http://core.arc.io/ was set without the SameSite attribute

  在不具有SameSite属性的情况下，设置了与http://core.arc.io/上的跨站点资源关联的cookie。

• Arc’s widget is not accessible to users who only use a keyboard.
  仅使用键盘的用户无法访问Arc的小部件。

I’ll update this blog post when I notice fixes. But Arc’s reply included this:

当我注意到修复程序时，我将更新此博客文章。 但是Arc的答复包括：

We’re currently experiencing unprecedented, explosive growth and our servers are absolutely melting. We’re hands on deck to resolve that and right the ship.

我们目前正经历着前所未有的爆炸性增长，并且我们的服务器绝对处于崩溃状态。 我们正准备在甲板上解决该问题并纠正该船。

So I don’t know how short “shortly” is going to be.

所以我不知道“不久”将会有多短。

To be fair, I cannot say that I notice slower performances now that Arc is on my website. When I browse it as an average user, the only noticeable difference is the blue circle with two white lines in the bottom left corner.

公平地说，既然Arc在我的网站上，我不能说我注意到性能下降。 当我以普通用户浏览时，唯一明显的区别是蓝色圆圈，左下角有两条白线。

这会产生收入吗？ (Is this generating income?)

My website is, for the moment, pretty low traffic. Here is a screenshot of my Google Analytics homepage for the past 28 days.

目前，我的网站的访问量很低。 这是过去28天我的Google Analytics(分析)主页的屏幕截图。

Yeah, there’s room for growth. The traffic is so low that I couldn’t possibly be accepted by any decent ad network at the moment. And yet… even with such a humble amount of visitors, felixparadis.com is now a source of passive income!

是的，还有成长的空间。 流量如此之低，以至于目前我还无法被任何体面的广告网络所接受。 但是……尽管访问者人数很少，felixparadis.com现在却是被动收入的来源！

I implemented Arc on the 4th of August.

我在8月4日实施了Arc。

Ok, it’s passive pennies. Just enough to cover the yearly cost of my domain name plus a few cheap beers. But considering how low traffic my website is, I’d say it’s not bad at all! Remember, there are no annoying ads there. No asking for money anywhere, just a slightly bad Lighthouse score 😐

好吧，那是被动的便士。 足够支付我的域名的年度费用以及一些便宜的啤酒。 但是考虑到我的网站的流量多么小，我会说这还不错！ 请记住，那里没有烦人的广告。 在任何地方都没有要钱，只是灯塔评分稍差😐

If you run some kind of free web app where many people spend many minutes, you probably could make decent earnings. I asked for arc.io reviews on Indie Hackers and Martin Ratinaud wrote back that he makes about 8$ per day for 400k views per month with edityouraudio.com. That’s a daily not-so-cheap beer!

如果您运行某种免费的Web应用程序，其中许多人都花很多时间，那么您可能会获得可观的收入。 我要求在Indie Hackers上获得arc.io评论 ， 马丁·拉蒂诺 ( Martin Ratinaud )回信说，他每天使用edityouraudio.com每天可赚取约8美元，获得40万次观看。 那是每天不那么便宜的啤酒！

这是道德的吗？ (Is this ethical though?)

When I entered “arc.io review” in Google Search, the first result was a post on Hacker News where almost everyone said they wouldn’t use it, even though some admitted it’s a cool technology.

当我在Google搜索中输入“ arc.io评论”时，第一个结果是在Hacker News上发表的一篇文章 ，几乎每个人都说他们不会使用它，即使有人承认这是一种很酷的技术。

Most criticism came from people seeing the idea of renting your users’ bandwidth as somewhat sly and potentially not compliant with privacy regulations such as the GDPR, *potentially*.

大多数批评来自于人们认为租用用户带宽的想法比较狡猾，并且可能不符合GDPR等隐私法规， *可能* 。

You definitely should be wary of anyone asking you to inject their code into your users’ browsers and Arc could do a better job of making us feel at ease (Maybe by being more transparent about who works there? Having an official Twitter account?). Also, while Arc’s widget offers the possibility of opting out, some argue that it should be the other way around. Although, let’s be honest, nobody would opt-in.

您绝对应该警惕任何要求您将其代码注入用户浏览器的人，Arc可以做得更好，使我们感到放心(也许可以更透明地了解谁在这里工作？拥有正式的Twitter帐户？)。 同样，虽然Arc的小部件提供了选择退出的可能性，但有人认为应该相反。 坦白说，虽然没有人选择加入。

So, there is room for personal opinions here. But Arc is very legit when it comes to privacy and they only rent out users’ bandwidth if they’re on wifi. To me, it sounds like a good deal as a user too; I give money to people creating content I enjoy without actually giving them money. It’s a win-win, no?

因此，这里有个人意见的余地。 但是Arc在隐私方面非常合法，只有在使用wifi时，他们才出租用户的带宽。 对我来说，作为用户，这听起来也很不错。 我向创建我喜欢的内容的人捐款，却没有实际给他们钱。 这是双赢，不是吗？

结论 (Conclusion)

I think Arc is bringing an innovative solution to a real problem: creators like to get paid but users don’t like to pay. There are still some rough edges around their technology, but this should get better… “shortly”.

我认为Arc正在为一个实际问题带来创新的解决方案：创作者喜欢获得报酬，但用户不喜欢付款。 他们的技术仍然存在一些粗糙的地方，但这应该会变得更好……“很快”。

You do need a lot of traffic to generate serious income, but it’s probably the easiest way to monetize any web project. As for the user experience, try scrolling the exact same article on felixparadis.com and see how it feels.

您确实需要大量流量才能产生可​​观的收入，但这可能是通过任何Web项目获利的最简单方法。 对于用户体验，请尝试在felixparadis.com上滚动完全相同的文章，并查看其感觉。
