Build a bigger firewall, force everyone through a clunky VPN, and hope the CDN keeps up. That rule worked when apps sat in one data center and bots were bored.
Cloudflare is the connectivity cloud that fits the internet you actually run. One global network, 60 plus services, and a simple path to SASE, SSE, and Zero Trust. You get enterprise WAF, DDoS protection, bot management, API Shield, CDN with Argo Smart Routing, load balancing, and ultra-fast DNS across 330 plus cities in 125 plus countries. It blocks roughly 190B threats daily so your store, app, and APIs stay online when traffic surges or attackers get cute.
Performance is baked in. Cache and accelerate content, optimize images and video, and route users on the fastest paths. Run code at the edge with Cloudflare Workers, store data with KV, R2 object storage with zero egress fees, and spin up D1 serverless databases. Build AI features with near real time inference close to your customers so pages feel instant and recommendations actually convert.
Getting started is simple. Point DNS to Cloudflare, toggle WAF and DDoS, turn on bot management, then roll out Zero Trust with Okta or Google Workspace. Enforce least privilege, browser isolation, and secure web gateway policies in hours, not quarters. Use analytics and logs to see what is happening in real time.
Result: faster pages, safer checkout, protected APIs, fewer vendors, and less weekend firefighting. Your team ships features instead of duct-taping infrastructure.
Best features:
- Enterprise WAF and DDoS protection + fewer outages on launch days
- Bot management and API Shield + stops carding, scraping, and fraud
- Global CDN with Argo Smart Routing + faster page loads and higher conversion
