Cloudflare remains committed to being the fastest network globally by continuously measuring and improving its performance against competitors, with a focus on enhancing user experience. Regular updates, such as the one from September 2024, highlight Cloudflare's status as the fastest provider in 40% of the top 1,000 networks. Utilizing metrics like TCP connection time, measured through Real User Measurements (RUM), Cloudflare gathers data to identify areas for improvement and outperform competitors, often by narrow margins. This data-driven approach has enabled Cloudflare to make significant improvements, such as the strategic addition of partner data centers, which enhance network speed and user experience. Despite fluctuations in provider rankings, Cloudflare remains competitive, especially in challenging scenarios, and continues to strive for further optimization and transparency in its processes.
