Cloudflare Benefits and Insights

Why use Cloudflare?

Key differentiators & advantages of Cloudflare

  • Accelerate Internet Applications: Improves complex application performances with fine-grained functionality configuration through its dashboard. Provides integrated security services to safeguard against abusive bots and customer data breaches while preventing performance trade-offs. 
  • Optimize Web Experience: Measure TCP and DNS reaction connection time, page load time, time to first byte and more from the visitors’ perspective through browser insights. Allows seamless image delivery through its image optimization algorithms. Overrides browser defaults with a better scheduling scheme, resulting in a faster visitor experience through its enhanced HTTP/2 prioritization. Offers other optimization features, including Rocket Loader, TCP Turbo, AutoMinify and Brotli. 
  • Secure and Streamlined Networks: Merge networking and security services into a unified global network to simplify traditional network architecture by implementing secure access service edge. Enterprises can adopt one SASE architecture to streamline costly and complex configurations, maximizing visibility and control across the entire network infrastructure. Provides identity-based network access, determined by granular, policy-based and zero trust model. 
  • Reduce Data Transfer Costs: Reduce data transfer fees for shared customers using the Bandwidth Alliance, a group of networking and cloud companies. Discounted data transfer from the cloud provider to Cloudflare minimizes bandwidth costs. Customers can select from multiple cloud providers without factoring in bandwidth costs into their host choices. 
  • Simplifies Multi-Cloud Environment: Provides a scalable and unified control plane to deliver reliability and security for multi-cloud systems. Apply similar security policies across all clouds, regardless of vendor. Offers integrated performance and security without trade-offs. Helps users gain visibility throughout the network infrastructure, enforce consistent policies across various clouds and balance workloads across private and public clouds. 
  • Seamless Application Building: Build applications directly over the network with serverless functions, instant static sites and storage at the edge. Deploy through a web interface, CLI or API. Servers, VMs or containers are not required to manage or spin up. Offers templates, tutorials and a CLI during app building, creating a function or writing an API. Code is deployed quickly to all data centers, and traffic is automatically routed throughout the network.
