Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.

What Makes Cloudflare Special? We’re not just a highly ambitious technology company, but one with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open internet. Since 2014 we have equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil‑society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend against attacks that would otherwise censor their work. Beginning in 2017 we launched the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, enabling access to election information and voter registration; we have served more than 425 local‑government election websites in 33 states. Additionally, we released 1.1.1.1—a privacy‑centric public DNS resolver—to fix the foundation of the internet; the service does not store or use client IP addresses for advertising.
