Global content delivery network (CDN)

Your website gains a global presence at an affordable budget. CloudFlare^® operates out of 20 data centers around the world. On average, a website on CloudFlare^® loads twice as fast for its visitors, sees 65% fewer requests and saves 60% of your bandwidth. And if you get a surge in traffic, CloudFlare’s CDN will absorb the effect so your server stays online.
