Do we like Cloudflare?

Internet security, CDN and network services company (DDoS protection, DNS, edge computing), based in San Francisco, US.

Our score: 6 out of 10. Useful, widely trusted infrastructure with a real free-protection programme for at-risk groups. Marks against it: outages that hit much of the web, and fights over what content it will host.

Cloudflare sells security and speed for websites, and its CEO and co-founder is Matthew Prince. In 2014 it started Project Galileo, a free programme protecting at-risk sites like journalists and nonprofits from huge attacks.

By Cloudflare's own figures, Galileo covers over 2,600 organisations in 111 countries. It works with 54 civil society groups who vet applicants. These numbers come from the company itself, so take them with a pinch of salt.

The drama is mostly about what it will host and protect. Italy's communications regulator fined it €14.25m over its Piracy Shield blocking rules. Cloudflare appealed, saying the fine was disproportionate. One report says an administrative court dismissed the appeal in June 2026.

Reliability is the other worry. A November 2025 outage was widely covered, and Cloudflare said it was not a cyberattack. We give it a middling-good score: it's useful and does real good, but it has a lot of power and some legal baggage.
