In Q2, Cloudflare released several products which enable a better Internet “end-to-end” — from the mobile client to host infrastructure. Now, anyone from an individual developer to large companies and governments, can control, secure, and accelerate their applications from “perimeter” to “host.”
Rocket Loader is in the news again. One of Cloudflare's earliest web performance products has been re-engineered for contemporary browsers and Web standards. It controls the load and execution of your JavaScript, ensuring useful, meaningful page content is unblocked and displayed sooner.
Today we’re excited to announce the official GA of Rocket Loader, our JavaScript optimisation feature that will prioritise getting your content in front of your visitors faster than ever before with improved Mobile device support.
We improved the Lighthouse and time-to-first-meaningful-paint scores of two of our web optimisation products: Mirage and Rocket Loader! Combined, these products speed up around 1.2 billion web-pages a week.
The holiday season is approaching, and everyone is thinking about gifts for their friends and family. As people increasingly shop online, this means huge spikes in traffic for web sites---especially ecommerce sites.
We get asked this question all the time: How do I make my website faster? So, on Thursday, we're holding a webcast to go through our recommendations and also answer your questions live.
You may have heard that Facebook took down a significant portion of the Internet today. A bug in their Facebook Connect script caused users to be redirected to a Facebook error page.
Last night I gave a short presentation about how to use CloudFlare with WordPress sites to about 60 people attending the WordPress London Meetup. CloudFlare was happy to be sponsor of the event providing drinks, beers and lots and lots of pizza. The meetup was held at the Google Campus.
We just got word from the Wall Street Journal that CloudFlare was named the Most Innovative Internet & Networking Company of 2012. This is the second year in a row that CloudFlare has won this award.
Mobile web browsing is very different, at the network level, to browsing on a desktop machine connected to the Internet. Yet both use the very same protocols, and although TCP was designed to perform well on the fixed-line Internet, it doesn't perform as well on mobile networks.
In 2009, Google began work on a new network protocol to make web pages faster. Dubbed SPDY (pronounced "speedy"), the protocol is designed to solve many of the bottlenecks that slow HTTP down. Beginning today, we're rolling out a beta of SPDY to CloudFlare customers.
CloudFlare has partnered with a number of CloudFlare Certified Partners to make it simple for website owners that want a faster and safer website.
The conventional wisdom in web performance circles is that you want to combine multiple javascript and CSS files. The reason for this is that there is significant overhead every time you setup a new HTTP request. More requests, more wasted overhead.
At CloudFlare, we built our own CDN from the ground up. We used the latest technologies like solid state drives and Anycast routing and geo load balancing to make it as fast and efficient as possible.
Yesterday our CEO and co-founder, Matthew Prince, dropped in on TechCrunch Disrupt in NYC to give an update on CloudFlare and to make a few announcements. CloudFlare couldn't have been more excited to present at TechCrunch Disrupt and debut our CloudFlare Apps and Rocket Loader services. You can tell by watching Matthew's presentation that we've been busy. We've also received some great media clips, including articles from TechCrunch and Robert Scoble - complete with a video of Matthew and
