How CloudFlare Rocket Loader Redefines the Modern CDN
CloudFlare has developed Rocket Loaderâ„¢, an innovative solution that addresses two core problems in website performance. Firstly, it ensures that all scripts on a page do not block the content from loading, and secondly, it loads all scripts asynchronously to improve speed and efficiency. Rocket Loader uses local storage caching for more intelligent script storing and works across various browsers and devices. Unlike some other companies, CloudFlare does not require content caching to make these improvements, making it suitable for highly dynamic websites. The technology is included in all of CloudFlare's plans, including the free one.
