Network performance update: Birthday Week 2024

Cloudflare has been measuring its network performance against top global networks since June 2021 to improve its speed and share the results of these initiatives. As of September 2024, Cloudflare is ranked as the fastest provider in 44% of the top 1,000 ISPs. The company uses Real User Measurements (RUM) data to track key performance metrics such as TCP Connection Time, Time to First Byte (TTFB), and Time to Last Byte (TTLB). This data helps Cloudflare identify lagging regions and improve its network performance in those areas. The company is constantly working on improving its infrastructure and services to become the fastest network worldwide.
