Summary

WordPress is the most popular CMS globally, powering over a third of the top 10 million websites. Hosting providers often face challenges in delivering high-performance services to their customers without modifying individual site codes. Cloudflare's Serverless Workers Platform has emerged as a solution for these providers, offering performance enhancements at the edge without code modification. Bluehost, a recommended WordPress host, collaborated with Cloudflare and achieved a 40% performance improvement using Workers. The platform will be offered to Bluehost customers in early 2020, resulting in faster response times, increased website visits, improved ad revenue, and higher ecommerce sales.
