What is a Content Delivery Network

One of the key features of Cloudlfare is the CDN that it offers, this is essentially a network of servers across the world that help to make sure that your content/website is delivered as fast as possible to your users. Your content is essentially stored on the network of servers so when one of your website visitors comes along and loads your website it's delivered to them from a nearby network rather than from far away. Cloudflare has one of the biggest networks in the world spanning over 100 countries, meaning it can deliver the content to over 95% of the world's population within 50ms. This does give it users an advantage over alternative companies.

This network also has another advantage and this is its ability to block DDoS attacks, these are cyber attacks where by your website is flooded with traffic way beyond anything you'd typically see and this without protection can lead to your website going down. Cloudflare has the network and technology to block these types of attacks and does so every day millions of times.

Does your business need Cloudflare?

Ultimately you'll be the one you can best judge this, but we always advise startups that are quite reliant on their website i.e your website is essential to your business, to consider using a company like Cloudflare to give you added protection and of course peace of mind. Cloudflare are one of the leading companies and with the generous deal they offer startups of a year free it's certainly worth exploring for your business.
