Cloudflare Radar 2025 Year in Review

How else will you sell the 99.99%?

>* Globo #1 in news...never heard of it (Latin Am. news)

I was surprised as well. And then Snapchat ( is that still a thing ? ) is higher than X ?

Shopee larger than Temu?

I assume a lot of these are Cloudflare customer's specific, or 1.1.1.1 DNS user specific.

4.2% for bots? Wat. No way. In 2012 it was easily 50%. In the era of GenAI scraping it's surely only gone up.

Who cares, as long as the numbers go up, other numbers go up to, and everyone stays happy-ish.

"Unused" isn't quite the right term here. "Misassigned if they were to design their network today" or something would be more apt.

I had a networking job where we had a /16 legacy assignment nearly completely used but only one /24 "in use" according to what you could see from the internet. We looked at how the space was worth about a million dollars at the time but found it was not really worth it to try to move off anyways. Unfortunately, a lot of the devices smattered across that space were embedded devices where we had to pay bespoke vendors to come change the IP assignments or devices with IPs statically coded into home grown applications and every other sort of nightmare you could imagine. It'd have taken many bodies for a year + the associated costs + any of the operational fallout. At the following job we had roughly the same number of employees as Ford and our 10/8 was very tight as a unified network.

I'm not saying it would be as hard for Ford to try to find sub-blocks worth selling off or anything, just highlighting that waaaaay more of that IP space is being used than it seems from that picture and they likely do have a lot similar piece of shit equipment/sensors/building control and whatnot as well.

2.2 billion people without internet, and far more without "broadband".

Keep in mind that electrification isn't everywhere, either.

Human make mistakes and write buggy websites sometimes too, I've even done it myself once or twice.

I noticed that too.

There's no option to disable the transition too (not even when hovering the tabs, which is very common). At first I liked how they used a grid and transitioned every cell - it's very info dense - but without being able to pause it becomes useless.

I had to keep clicking and waiting for the animation to end to keep reading.

Design: 4/5 Usability: 1/5

Likely because it is not on any client side blocklist (yet). Do not underestimate the power of Google Safe Browsing.

The data gathering method is 1.1.1.1 Cloudflare DNS resolver. It won't have the information about people who use any other DNS.

Go is huge in kubernetes circles.

They can detect golang pretty reliably by fingerprinting the requests they handle (ie. TLS handshake) unless the app developer has taken some explicit measures to counter it.

At work people mostly use desktops/laptops, IME.

ASP.NET could mean a bunch of programming languages and I'm assuming that a ASP.NET Server doesn't disclose that. It's probably safe to guess mostly C#, but that requires a different metric.

Even when it identifies the specific project, it doesn't know C#. I took some scans of some notable CMS websites (so the programming language is provably correct).

WordPress.org (PHP, correctly identified language and framework): https://radar.cloudflare.com/scan/88fcab24-5e27-4c77-8ace-94...

Orchard Core (C#, Modern .Net, correctly identified framework): https://radar.cloudflare.com/scan/88adbf69-c010-4074-a80f-03...

DotNetNuke (C#, .Net Framework, correctly identified framework): https://radar.cloudflare.com/scan/7889b8b9-4fed-43b6-8506-49...

The 10% share for ASP.NET among the top 5,000 domains shows that .NET (and therefore also C#) is a very serious player in building web apps and APIs and for good reason. .NET is a solid, fast, secure, and mature technology, and it's only getting better. All other significant frameworks were JS based, which is no surprise to anyone, as a lot of modern sites are built as SPAs.

Are they using headers for identification? If so, it could be skewed by orgs masking some/all. I’m quite curious myself.
