Cloudflare powers almost a trillion monthly page views. This is more than the combined monthly page views for Amazon, Wikipedia, Twitter, Zynga, AOL, Apple, Bing, eBay, PayPal and Instagram . Over 25% of the Internet’s population and traffic regularly passes through their network.
CloudFlare Increases The Speed And Security of Your Website
Cloudflare makes it easy for any website to be as fast and secure as the Internet giants.
Faster Website Performance
Cloudflare was designed to take a hosting platform like Jubilee Web Host and make it more fast, secure, and reliable.
Cloudflare runs 152 data centers strategically located around the world. When you sign up for Cloudflare, your traffic starts routing to the nearest data center.
As your traffic passes through their data centers, CoudFlare intelligently determine what parts of your website are static versus dynamic. The static portions are cached on their servers for a short period of time, typically less than 2 hours before they check to see if they’ve been updated. By automatically moving the static parts of your site closer to your visitors, the overall performance of your website improves significantly.
Cloudflare’s intelligent caching system also means you save bandwidth. This alone means saving money. It decreases the load on your servers, which means your web application will run faster and more efficiently than ever. On average, Cloudflare customers register a 60% decrease in bandwidth usage, and a 65% in total requests to their servers. The overall effect is that Cloudflare will typically cut the load time for pages on your website by 50% which means higher engagement and happier visitors.
Broad Web Security
At the beginning of 2016, Cloudflare experienced and mitigated against some of the largest distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks ever seen. As attacks like these increase, Cloudflare is stepping up to protect websites.
Cloudflare’s security protections offer a broad range of protections against attacks. These include DDoS, hacking, spam submitted to blogs or comment forms, etc. What is powerful about their approach is that the system gets smarter the more sites that are part of the Cloudflare community. They analyze the traffic patterns of hundreds of millions of visitors in real time and adapt the security systems. This helps to ensure only good traffic gets through and bad traffic is stopped.
In time, CloudFlare’s goal is nothing short of making attacks against websites a relic of history. And, they are well on their way to achieving that for websites on the Cloudflare network. This is due their scale and the billions of different attacks they see and adapt to every year,
