CloudFlare DNS is simple, fast and flexible
CloudFlare's DNS service offers unique properties that allow users to do things that would be much harder or impossible with other providers. The company uses Anycast for its DNS routing, which directs requests to the nearest of its 24 data centers worldwide, reducing latency and improving website load times. Additionally, CloudFlare has TTLs of 5 minutes on all DNS records by default, allowing for quick changes in IP addresses or other DNS settings. These features make CloudFlare's DNS service one of the best in terms of reliability and speed within the industry.
