CacheFly vs CloudFlare: What are the differences?
What is CacheFly? A leading content delivery network provider based in Chicago, IL. CacheFly is the world’s fastest Content Delivery Network (CDN), delivering rich-media content up to 10x faster than traditional delivery methods. Launched in 2002 as the first TCP anycast-based CDN, CacheFly pioneered the ability to deliver rich-media content faster and more reliably than traditional delivery methods.
What is CloudFlare? The Web Performance & Security Company. Cloudflare speeds up and protects millions of websites, APIs, SaaS services, and other properties connected to the Internet.
CacheFly and CloudFlare can be categorized as "Content Delivery Network" tools.
Some of the features offered by CacheFly are:
- Up to 10x faster performance
- Lower bandwidth costs
- Scalable, on-demand capacity
On the other hand, CloudFlare provides the following key features:
- CDN
- WAF (Web Application Firewall)
- DDOS Protection
I don't think I have registered a domain in the last 10 years that hasn't been linked to CloudFlare within the first 2 hours from registration.
The benefits you get from even the free version of CloudFlare are amazing. From day 0: - 30/80% of bandwidth savings thanks to their CDN - Origin IP address protection - Managed SSL
