The Cloudflare Blog

The Internet is one big open system composed of many closed boxes — which makes measuring the Internet difficult. In this post we explore Internet measurement as a science.

In this blog post we’ll discuss how Cloudflare thinks about measuring Internet quality, how our own Cloudflare speed test works, and our future plans for providing Internet measurement tools that help everyone build a better Internet.

Coinciding with the ACM’s Internet Measurement Conference, the Cloudflare Research team is publishing a series of posts this week to share their research on building a more measurable, resilient, and transparent Internet. These posts will cover foundational concepts in Internet measurement, Internet resilience, cryptography, and networking.

Cloudflare Radar has evolved significantly since its 2020 launch, offering deeper insights into Internet security, routing, and traffic with new tools and data that help anyone understand what's happening online.

While large cloud providers hold vast troves of passive network data, analyzing them is complicated. The scale, noise, and absence of definitive ground truth all create major hurdles. Yet by carefully quantifying these constraints and finding alternative forms of evidence, meaningful insights can still emerge.

Cloudflare Radar has launched a new Top-Level Domain (TLD) page, providing insights into TLD popularity, traffic, and security. The top-ranking TLD may come as a surprise.

A recent npm supply chain attack compromised 18 popular packages. This post explains how Cloudflare’s graph-based machine learning model, which analyzes 3.5 billion scripts daily, was built to detect and block exactly this kind of threat automatically.

Cloudflare is partnering with Visa and Mastercard to help secure the future of agentic commerce.

This post explores the performance of BPF LPM tries, a critical data structure used for IP matching.

Cloudflare Load Balancing now supports Monitor Groups, allowing you to combine multiple health monitors into a single, logical assessment.

There's no way to audit a site’s client-side code as it changes, making it hard to trust sites that use cryptography. We preview a specification we co-authored that adds auditability to the web.

Cloudflare investigated CPU performance benchmark results for Workers, uncovering and fixing issues in infrastructure, V8 garbage collection, and OpenNext optimizations.

We're launching Cloudforce One REACT, a team of expert security responders designed to eliminate the gap between perimeter defense and internal incident response.

84 million requests a second means even rare bugs appear often. We'll reveal how we discovered a race condition in the Go arm64 compiler and got it fixed.

We demonstrate how the open-source Payload CMS was ported to run entirely on Cloudflare's developer platform.

On September 29, 2025, Internet connectivity was completely shut down across Afghanistan, impacting business, education, finance, and government services.

Rust-powered core systems, post-quantum upgrades, developer access for students, PlanetScale integration, open-source partnerships, and our biggest internship program ever — 1,111 interns in 2026.

Cloudflare will soon automatically create an AI-optimized search index for your domain, and expose a set of ready-to-use standard APIs and tools including an MCP server, LLMs.txt, and a search API.

We will cover some of the reasons why operators need to monitor the AS-SET memberships for their ASN, and now Cloudflare Radar can help.

We're announcing two enhancements to our Application Performance suite that'll show how the world sees your website, and make it faster with one click - available Cloudflare Dashboard!
