The History of the URL
January 11th, 1982, 22 computer scientists met to discuss an issue with ‘computer mail’ (now known as email).

JavaScript Libraries Are Almost Never Updated Once Installed
An analysis, based on CDNJS data, of when and if JavaScript libraries are updated after being installed onto websites.
An Update on CDNJS
CDNJS powers over 10% of the web. A month ago it needed our help, now it needs yours.
The Technical Challenges of Building Cloudflare WARP
With WARP our goal was to secure and improve the connection between your mobile devices and the Internet.
MultiCloud... flare
If you want to start an intense conversation in the halls of Cloudflare, try describing us as a "CDN". CDNs don't generally provide you with Load Balancing, they don't allow you to deploy Serverless Applications, and they certainly don't get installed onto your phone.
The Climate and Cloudflare
Power is the precursor to all modern technology. James Watt’s steam engine energized the factory, Edison and Tesla’s inventions powered street lamps, and now both fossil fuels and renewable resources power the trillions of transistors in computers and phones.
Announcing AMP Real URL
The promise of the AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) project was that it would make the web, and, in particular, the mobile web, much more pleasant to surf. The AMP HTML framework was designed to make web pages load quickly.
How Serverless Platforms are Changing to Enable New Applications (video)
This talk was originally presented and recorded at Serverless Computing London in November 2018. If you’d like to join us in person to talk about serverless, we’ll be announcing 2019 event locations throughout the year on the docs page.
Cloud Computing without Containers
We have a cloud computing platform called Workers. Unlike essentially every other cloud computing platform I know of, it doesn’t use containers or virtual machines. We believe that is the future of Serverless and cloud computing in general, and I’ll try to convince you why.
Building With Workers KV, a Fast Distributed Key-Value Store
Your Workers now have access to a low-latency key-value data store which lives inside our network all around the world!
Comparing Serverless Performance for CPU Bound Tasks
This post is a part of an ongoing series comparing the performance of Cloudflare Workers with other Serverless providers. In our past tests we intentionally chose a workload which imposes virtually no CPU load (returning the current time).
Serverless Performance: Cloudflare Workers, Lambda and Lambda@Edge
A few months ago we released a new way for people to run serverless Javascript called Cloudflare Workers. We believe Workers is the fastest way to execute serverless functions, but lets prove it.
The History of Stock Quotes
In honor of all the fervor around Bitcoin, we thought it would be fun to revisit the role finance has had in the history of technology even before the Internet came around. This was adapted from a post which originally appeared on the Eager blog.
The History of Email
This was adapted from a post which originally appeared on the Eager blog. Eager has now become the new Cloudflare Apps.
The Languages Which Almost Became CSS
When Tim Berners-Lee announced HTML in 1991 there was no method of styling pages. How a given HTML tag was rendered was determined by the browser, often with significant input from the user’s preferences
We Were Acquired by Cloudflare, Here’s What’s Next
Like most of you, I first heard of Cloudflare via this blog. I read about HTTP/2, Railgun, the Hundredth Data Center, and Keyless SSL — but I never thought I would work here. I, along with my co-founder Adam, and our friends and coworkers were hard at work building something very different.
