They are similar in terms of users, requests and bandwidth.

  Do you have a citation for that claim?

    They serve 10% of the internet traffic and have over 1 billion users. They receive more than 5 million requests per second in average.

      That's not really a citation. Where are these figures published? What does that mean "10% the internet traffic?" By bandwidth? By request volume?

        You 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.

          Its 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.

            If memory serves, the 10% isn't based on some kind of global estimate of HTTP traffic. It's based on what percentage of active IP-space they see on a daily basis.

              Now that's a marketing metric :)

  They 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...
