What is Cloudflare
Cloudflare, Inc. is an American web-infrastructure and website-security company, providing content-delivery-network (CDN) services, DDoS, Internet security, and domain-name-server (DNS) services.
Cloudflare is one of the world's largest networks. Today, businesses, non-profits, bloggers, and anyone with an Internet presence turn to Cloudflare for faster, more secure websites and applications. There are over 35 million Internet properties on Cloudflare, and our network is growing by thousands each day.
How does Cloudflare work
In the early days of the Internet, when you wanted to load a website, your request would go from your computer to a server, which would then return the web page you requested. If too many requests came in at once, the server would crash, causing disruption to the host.
Cloudflare was created to alleviate these difficulties and empower users with the resources they need to keep their sites, apps, and blogs safe and efficient. This is done through the use of a powerful edge network that delivers content and other services as close to you as possible, so you get information as fast as possible.
Cloudflare provides security by protecting Internet properties from DDoS attacks, malicious bots, and other intrusions. It also allows website owners to easily embed applications into their website without needing to be a developer.
Cloudflare provides a free DNS service called 1.1.1.1 that you can use on any device. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 protects your data from being analyzed or used to target you with ads.
