We moved cdnjs, serving 9 billion requests a day, entirely onto Cloudflare's Developer Platform. That means we’re running one of the Internet's busiest open-source CDNs on our own building blocks, and we pushed Workflows and Workers limits higher for everyone.

Cloudflare now supports post-quantum (PQ) authentication when connecting to customer origin servers via Authenticated Origin Pulls and Custom Origin Trust Store. This is the first step towards providing PQ authentication for all Cloudflare products.

Cloudflare Radar tracked Internet disruptions driven by natural disasters, government-mandated shutdowns, and DNSSEC key rollovers over the last quarter. This post analyzes traffic telemetry to explain how these events impacted global connectivity.

pvcli is a curl-like tool designed to simplify the testing of complex privacy protocols like OHTTP.

By doing in-depth testing, we found nearly 70% of BGP paths experience ORIGIN attribute rewrites by transit providers seeking traffic advantages. We examine the global impact of this practice and argue for deprecating ORIGIN in route selection.

Perhaps you’ve seen something that should sail out of cache get dragged back to the origin. Cache Response Rules is the fix, applied at the right time.

Precursor, our new continuous behavioral validation engine for bot management, offers visibility into how humans and bots actually interact across the full user journey. By turning session-level behavior into bot detection signals, it identifies advanced automation with higher precision — while reducing friction for legitimate users.

Smart Tiered Cache allows for precise upper tier selection for origins hosted on AWS, GCP, Azure, and Oracle Cloud with customer-provided cloud region hints.

NIST is advancing nine new post-quantum signature algorithms as potential candidates for future standardization. We take a closer look at all of them, and argue that while they are in the works and show great potential, we should use ML-DSA for now — the best one currently available.

Cloudflare Research is building a global consensus service called Meerkat that uses a new consensus algorithm called QuePaxa. We plan to use Meerkat to build a strongly consistent, fault-tolerant key-value store, and other applications.

The pledge is a voluntary framework inviting organizations to commit to foundational cyber security governance, board-level accountability, and supply chain rigor. For over a decade, Cloudflare has pioneered the core pillars of this framework: democratizing security, leadership accountability, and radical transparency.

Cloudflare Radar data confirms early indications of a partial Internet restoration in Iran, nearly three months after the shutdown began. Traffic spikes and DNS queries have risen, but network activity is currently just 40% of pre-shutdown levels.

Cloudflare has integrated with Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents to provide a fast, isolated execution environment for autonomous code delivery. This means builders can scale agent workflows globally while strictly controlling access to private backends and easily customizing their agent’s tools and runtimes.

In recent weeks, we pointed Mythos and other security-focused LLMs at live code across critical parts of our infrastructure. We share what we observed, the models’ strengths and weaknesses, and what the work around them needs to look like before any of it can scale.

We investigated a bug where CUBIC's congestion window became pinned at its minimum floor, causing a performance to plummet. The fix involved correctly measuring idle periods to distinguish RTT wait times from actual application idleness.

This afternoon, we sent the following email to our global team. One of our core values at Cloudflare is transparency, and we believe it's important that you hear this directly from us because it’s a major moment at Cloudflare.

When a critical Linux kernel privilege escalation was publicly disclosed, Cloudflare's security and engineering teams detected, investigated, and mitigated the threat across our global fleet, confirming zero customer impact and no malicious exploitation.

We have completed a massive engineering effort to make our infrastructure more resilient. Through new tools like Snapstone and the Engineering Codex, we've implemented safer configuration changes and automated best practices to prevent future incidents.

Dynamic Workflows is a library that lets you route durable execution to tenant-provided code on the fly. Built on Dynamic Workers, it enables platforms to serve millions of unique workflows at near-zero idle cost.

Starting today, agents can now be Cloudflare customers. They can create a Cloudflare account, start a paid subscription, register a domain, and get back an API token to deploy code right away. Humans can be in the loop to grant permission, but there’s no need to go to the dashboard, copy and paste API tokens, or enter credit card details.
