It's just Cloudflare trying to make themselves sound bigger. Still nowhere near Google or Amazon.

It's just Cloudflare trying to make themselves sound bigger. Still nowhere near Google or Amazon.
- user5994461 9y agoThey are similar in terms of users, requests and bandwidth.
- bogomipz 9y agoDo you have a citation for that claim?
- user5994461 9y agoThey serve 10% of the internet traffic and have over 1 billion users. They receive more than 5 million requests per second in average.
- bogomipz 9y agoThat's not really a citation. Where are these figures published? What does that mean "10% the internet traffic?" By bandwidth? By request volume?
- user5994461 9y agoYou could start by reading the article you are commenting on. The traffic is by requests. You may not be aware but yes, cloudflare is a significant internet company.
- bogomipz 9y agoIts not actually an article, its a slide deck with a bunch of marketing on it. And I did read it. These are unsubstantiated numbers. 10% of total daily HTTP requests? Where is the total daily number of HTTP requests on the internet published? Cisco's VNI approximates bandwidth but I have never seen any number for the total HTTP requests on the internet. I am aware that Cloudflare is a CDN, most CDNs are substantial internet companies. However I've worked at a couple of CDNs and they all throw a lot of marketing numbers around.
- dsl 9y agoThey don't even stack up well against other CDNs. https://i2.wp.com/stratusly.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/top-100-websites.png?ssl=1 https://i2.wp.com/stratusly.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/t...
- bogomipz 9y ago>"It's just Cloudflare trying to make themselves sound bigger" And sounding cringe-worthy in the process :)
