Cloudflare Load Balancing
Maximize application performance and availability
Overutilized or geographically distant servers add latency and degrade the user experience. Such mistakes can prove costly, resulting in lost customers, missed revenue, and reputational damage.
With Cloudflare Load Balancing, you can improve application performance and availability by steering traffic away from unhealthy origin servers and dynamically distributing it to the most available and responsive server pools.

What our customers are saying
"Cloudflare's Load Balancing Analytics gives our team a granular lens into where our traffic is going, across multiple origin servers and geographic locations. This allows us to look at load and latency trends over time, making sure there are no single areas of the system that may act as a bottleneck."
