Improving Origin Performance for Everyone with Orpheus and Tiered Cache

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare is offering two products, Tiered Caching and Orpheus, for free to all its customers. Tiered Caching reduces origin data transfer and improves website performance by dividing Cloudflare's data centers into a hierarchy of lower-tiers and upper-tiers. This practice makes websites more cost-effective to operate and improves visitor experience. Orpheus routes around problems on the Internet, ensuring that customer origin servers are reachable from everywhere, reducing errors for visitors. Both products aim to help build a better internet by improving website performance and reliability.
