Encryption Week

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare introduces three new encryption features to improve security and performance for its customers, making all of them available for free. The first feature is TLS 1.3, which offers more secure connections and faster page load times compared to previous versions. Secondly, Automatic HTTPS Rewrites helps site owners address mixed content issues so they can upgrade their sites to HTTPS safely. Lastly, Opportunistic Encryption allows HTTP websites to be accessed over an encrypted HTTP/2 connection, providing some benefits of HTTPS and enabling the use of HTTP/2 for improved load times. These features contribute towards Cloudflare's goal of putting an end to the unencrypted Internet.
