2 Petabytes of Bandwidth (and Real Money) Saved
On November 13, 2011, Cloudflare reached a significant milestone by saving its users 2 petabytes of bandwidth. This is equivalent to the data on the entire Internet Archive in 2006 or one-quarter of the "deep internet" today. The company continues to save almost a gigabyte of data per second, making it an attractive option for those who use platforms like Amazon Web Services and Google AppEngine that charge by the byte. Cloudflare's free service not only makes websites faster but also saves users money on bandwidth costs.
