Making Cloudflare Pages the fastest way to serve your sites

Cloudflare has introduced significant improvements in the performance and efficiency of its Pages product, which is used by developers to deploy their websites easily and securely. Through the use of Workers for Platforms, a technology that enables building complex pipelines with multiple layers of execution, Cloudflare has achieved a reduction in time-to-first-byte (TTFB) latency from 600ms to 60ms. This change not only provides users with a faster web experience but also saves CPU usage and reduces storage requirements on Cloudflare's data centers. The improvements were made possible by migrating all existing Pages deployments to the new infrastructure, which uses Workers for Platforms routing enabled pipelines. The migration was carried out in stages, allowing for A/B testing between the legacy setup and the new one, and ensuring that customer impact in terms of downtime was minimized. The adoption of Workers for Platforms has also led to increased LRU hit rate, which is beneficial for cache performance. Additionally, with the use of Flame technology, Cloudflare aims to shave off even more milliseconds from every request made by users, further enhancing the speed and efficiency of its Pages product. Overall, these enhancements demonstrate Cloudflare's commitment to delivering a faster web experience for all developers and users, while also reducing resource consumption on their data centers.
