Cloudflare

Cloudflare is a web performance and security company that provides services to protect and accelerate websites. It acts as a reverse proxy between visitors and a website’s server.

At its core, Cloudflare:

• Boosts performance by caching content on servers around the world and serving it from the closest location to the user (a global Content Delivery Network, or CDN).

• Improves security by filtering malicious traffic, blocking DDoS attacks, and enforcing firewall rules before requests ever reach the site’s hosting server.

• Adds reliability with DNS management, load balancing, and redundancy features that help keep sites online even if a server goes down.

In short: Cloudflare helps websites run faster, stay secure, and remain available.
