How we built Organizations to help enterprises manage Cloudflare at scale

Cloudflare's analysis of 32% AI traffic reveals a distinct pattern, as AI agents, crawlers, and scrapers show aggressive behavior, issuing high-volume requests in parallel, often accessing rarely visited or loosely related content. Their traffic impacts storage cache, posing challenges for mitigating cache misses, as they exhibit high unique URL ratios, content diversity, and crawling inefficiency. Current cache architectures force website operators to choose between tuning for AI crawlers or human traffic, as AI traffic differs significantly from other traffic with its unpredictable access patterns and repeated scan behavior. Cloudflare's research aims to adapt CDN cache to the AI era, proposing directions for the community to consider, such as rethinking cache design to account for the characteristics of AI traffic, and exploring new strategies to improve cache hit rates.

Cloudflare independently examined its 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver to ensure it meets its promise of user privacy. The examination, conducted by a Big 4 accounting firm, confirmed that Cloudflare does not sell or share user data and respects IP address anonymity. Cloudflare's core privacy guarantees for the 1.1.1.1 resolver remain unchanged, including anonymizing source IP addresses and deleting them within 25 hours.
