Cloudflare CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a globally distributed network of over 300 data centers located near end users. This ensures that content is served from the closest network point, significantly shortening access time and minimizing delays. For users, this means:
- smoother browsing,
- lower latency,
- shorter loading times even with a weak connection,
- lower bounce rates and higher conversion rates.
Security as standard – at no additional cost
Cloudflare CDN allows for the combination of caching with advanced security features such as:
- DDoS protection,
- bot protections,
- intelligent traffic filtering.
Most importantly – these mechanisms operate without affecting performance. The service is not only faster but also better protected, all without the need to invest in additional devices or licenses.
Performance during peak traffic periods
In cases of sudden load increases – during marketing campaigns, seasonal sales, product launches, or media mentions – origin servers are often most vulnerable to overload.
Cloudflare CDN:
- absorbs part of the traffic,
- alleviates the backend servers,
- ensures continuous availability and responsiveness,
- stabilizes service operation even during the largest load spikes.
In practice, this means the site “withstands” much more than its base infrastructure allows.
