Cloudflare is a global network delivering CDN, DDoS protection, DNS, security, and edge compute services for websites and applications of all sizes. Its content delivery runs across an anycast network spanning 330+ cities, with a free-egress bandwidth model that avoids per-GB egress charges. The platform bundles DDoS protection and a Web Application Firewall, and a generous free tier covers basic CDN and security needs before paid plans add capacity. Founded in 2009, it carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS attestations and serves both startups and enterprises seeking performance with protection.
