How we think about Zero Trust Performance

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare Gateway is a secure web gateway that provides internet security through DNS filtering and content inspection at the network's edge. The performance of this service depends on various factors, including network infrastructure, peering agreements with ISPs and cloud providers, and the physical hardware being used for processing requests. To maintain good performance levels, Cloudflare has built an extensive global network with over 12,000 peered networks that allow users to connect directly to nearby data centers without having to traverse long distances over public internet routes. Additionally, Cloudflare's strong relationships with major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud ensure optimal performance when accessing applications hosted within these platforms. Performance measurements for Cloudflare Gateway are based on HTTP response times, which focus specifically on network latency rather than end-user application metrics or browser rendering times.``` SUMMARY:
