Introducing HTTP request traffic insights on Cloudflare Radar

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare Radar has added a new metric to its traffic graphs, reflecting the number of HTTP requests. This complements existing metrics for total traffic and HTTP traffic, which are measured in bytes derived from aggregated NetFlow data. By comparing bytes with requests, users can gain additional insights into traffic patterns and user behavior. The new data is incorporated into Radar's Overview and Traffic sections, allowing users to see how request volume has changed during a selected time period compared to the previous period. This provides a more direct proxy for user activity and helps distinguish between real events and data pipeline issues.
