  • Doesn’t your link show top 100k sites that use Cloudflare? I mean it’s Home -> Trends -> Content Delivery Network -> Websites using Cloudflare -> Top 100k Sites by Traffic there.

    That same site says CF is ~35% https://trends.builtwith.com/cdn

    Which is a lot more than I thought(and a lot less than the entire world), probably misunderstood CF own claim of 20% of the Internet as sites when it’s for traffic.

    What surprised me is that 95% is not shared by CF, AWS(just 8% seems sus), Azure(not even in their stats), by their stats almost half of the Internet is run by smaller CDNs(if I interpret their Other correctly). To me personally it sounds way too good and suspicious, maybe there is some survivorship bias at play there.


  • That’s interesting.

    Cloudflare says on their homepage “Everything we learned from powering 20% of the Internet”. But I wonder what they mean by 20% of the Internet, is it about sites or traffic?

    They also say “Cloudflare powers 45% of the Fortune 500” which correlates with your numbers.

    So 29% websites, 20% traffic and 45% of F500 seems reasonable, where other 71% is shared between AWS, Azure, smaller CDNs and those brave people not using CDNs at all.

    The other poster also shared a link where stats seems similar for CF(~1/3) https://trends.builtwith.com/cdn

    Still very far from “the entire world” claim in OP.
