Globally Load Balanced CDN

Our 194 data centers located across the globe provide visitors with location-based access to your website, while removing latency and improving performance.

Static Content Caching

Cloudflare saves you CPU resources and bandwidth by serving your static content directly from our global data centers.

Instant Full Cache Purge

Purge the entire Cloudflare cache or just a single file without waiting.

Min Cache TTL Expiry

Cloudflare respects all existing headers, unless you choose to overwrite them. The minimum edge cache expire TTL sets the refetch time for when Cloudflare checks the origin server for a new resource.

Client Max Upload Size (MB)

The amount of data visitors can upload to your website in a single request.

TCP Turbo

TCP Turbo automatically chooses the TCP settings to further accelerate your website. Accelerate latency and throughput with custom-tuned TCP optimizations. Enabled automatically for Pro, Business, and Enterprise customers.

Cache Purge - By Tag

Cache-Tags are assigned to cached content via a Cache-Tag response header, and are stored as metadata with cached objects so that global purges take only seconds, targeting a granular, finite set of cached objects.

Cache Purge - By Host

Purge by host offers Cloudflare customers who manage multiple subdomains the ability to purge the cache on a per-host basis. For example, if the Cloudflare domain example.com wanted to purge everything on staging.example.com, purge by host enables this with a single API call.

Custom Cache Keys

Custom Cache Keys allow caching to be extended to something more specific than just the URL, this allows you to extend caching beyond just static files.

Prioritized IP Ranges

Enterprise Internet assets are placed on Cloudflare dedicated IP ranges, providing prioritized routing and protection to ensure maximum speed and availability.

Argo Smart Routing

Argo's smart routing algorithm uses real-time network intelligence to route traffic through the fastest Cloudflare network paths, while maintaining open, secure connections to eliminate latency imposed by connection-setup.

Pricing

Pricing for Free, Pro, and Business Plans: $5 per month; First 1 GB is free and $0.10 per GB thereafter.

Tiered Caching

Argo’s tiered caching technology uses regional tier 1 Cloudflare data centers to propagate content to Cloudflare’s global network, minimizing static content requests to your server and reducing costs.

User Agent Blocking Rules

Create a rule to block or challenge a specific User Agent from accessing your domain. This works similarly to Zone Lockdown, except the block examines incoming User-Agent strings rather than IPs. User Agent blocking applies to an entire zone, and sub-domains cannot not be specified.
