One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions
Ensuring Cyber Security
Cloudflare is a global web infrastructure and website security company offering content delivery network (CDN) services, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) mitigation, Internet security, and distributed domain name server services. By routing web traffic through its global network, the company filters out malicious threats while optimizing legitimate content for faster delivery. As cyber threats have evolved in volume and sophistication, Cloudflare has become a critical defense layer for numerous websites, applications, and APIs, catering to a range of customers from small blogs to Fortune 500 corporations.
Founded to Build a Better Internet
Cloudflare traces its origins to a project undertaken by two Harvard Business School students, Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn, along with coder Lee Holloway. In 2009, the trio officially founded Cloudflare with an aspiration to revolutionize how the internet functions, enhancing its security and efficiency. Cloudflare quickly transformed from this anti-spam measure to a comprehensive web performance and security solution. Its public launch was in 2010 at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, where it gained significant attention.
The Services
Cloudflare provides services designed to optimize and secure online operations for businesses and individual websites. At its core, Cloudflare acts as a content delivery network (CDN), accelerating the delivery of web content by distributing it across a global network of servers. This ensures users get data from the nearest server, leading to faster load times and reduced latency. Additionally, Cloudflare offers a robust layer of security against a myriad of cyber threats, including DDoS attacks, malicious bots, and potential data breaches. By sitting between a client's website and its visitors, Cloudflare filters traffic to keep malicious actors out while letting legitimate users in. The platform also offers performance enhancements, analytics, and other web solutions, ultimately providing a safer, faster, and more reliable internet experience for end-users.
Solutions for Businesses of All Sizes
Cloudflare's services cater to a broad spectrum of users, ranging from individual bloggers and small businesses to large corporations and e-commerce platforms. By using Cloudflare, these entities can ensure their websites load quickly and reliably, irrespective of the visitor's location, thanks to Cloudflare's vast global content delivery network. Whether a startup is looking to set up its first website in a secure way or a large enterprise is seeking to maintain a digital reputation and security, Cloudflare offers a solution. When looking at their list of customers one finds several publicly traded companies, with some examples being Polestar, SoFi, and Q2.
