- brandonwamboldt 12y agoDid you read the post, specifically the benefits section? Or the Google page they linked: https://www.cloudflare.com/google https://www.cloudflare.com/google It sounds like they now have a peering agreement so Google can directly communicate with CloudFlare's network, resulting in 2x faster performance. It looks like that's the primary benefit (other than the regular benefits of CloudFlare).

- jhgg 12y agoThey never actually say that the peering agreement results in 2x faster performance, just that they use SPDY for 2x speed (which is something they've been doing for a while now). >2x Web Performance Speed - CloudFlare uses advanced caching and the SPDY protocol to double web content transfer speeds, making web content transfer times significantly faster.
