Overview
Cloudflare is an internet infrastructure company that helps websites and applications run faster and stay protected. Its services are used to deliver content, absorb traffic spikes, and add security features such as DDoS mitigation, SSL, bot protection, and a web application firewall. It also offers edge compute and storage for building and running code close to users.
Teams use Cloudflare to improve site performance, secure public-facing services, and connect users and devices through zero trust access tools. Developers, businesses, and larger organizations can use it to route traffic, reduce latency, and manage workloads without handling all of their own infrastructure.
The platform combines a global network with products for CDN, security, and compute. Cloudflare Workers lets people run code at the edge, while other offerings cover networking, access control, and storage. Plans vary by product, with options for individual sites, businesses, and enterprise deployments.
Cloudflare is available as a web service and developer platform. It supports use across websites, apps, and internal access setups, with account-based management through its dashboard. Pricing and feature sets differ by product line, and the company also offers support tiers for higher-volume or mission-critical use.
