CloudFlare Expanding the IPv6 Web

2012-01-12

1 min read

We regularly monitor the Alexa top 1 million websites for trends. Specifically, we've been tracking how many of them support IPv6 connections. The numbers are still low but have been improving. About 1% of the 1 million largest websites on the Internet now accept and properly support IPv6 connections. What's pretty cool is that about 10% of those that do accept IPv6 connections do so via CloudFlare's free Automatic IPv6 Gateway. There's a long way to go, but we're proud of our part of expanding the modern Internet.

Cloudflare's connectivity cloud protects entire corporate networks, helps customers build Internet-scale applications efficiently, accelerates any website or Internet application, wards off DDoS attacks, keeps hackers at bay, and can help you on your journey to Zero Trust.
