Each point is not just a caching proxy — it&rsquo;s a full compute node supporting Workers, DDoS mitigation, and WAF.</p> <p>The core principle: <strong>Anycast routing</strong>. A single IP address is announced from all data centers simultaneously. BGP automatically routes users to the nearest node. The result: latency drops from 200–300ms (single-location origin server) to 5–20ms for 95% of users.</p> https://servdigest.com/en/comparisons/cloudflare-vs-fastly/ Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://servdigest.com/en/comparisons/cloudflare-vs-fastly/ <p>Cloudflare and Fastly are CDN providers that appear to do the same thing: accelerate content delivery. But under the hood — fundamentally different architecture, philosophy, and target audience. This comparison is for those who understand the difference between pull and push CDN, know what TTFB and edge computing mean, and choose by technical specs, not brand recognition.</p> <p>Sites: <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com">cloudflare.com</a> | <a href="https://www.fastly.com">fastly.com</a></p> <h2 id="architecture-pull-vs-instant-purge">Architecture: Pull vs Instant Purge</h2> <p><strong>Cloudflare</strong> — pull-based CDN. Content is cached on first request: a Tokyo visitor requests a page → Cloudflare fetches it from the Amsterdam origin server → caches in Tokyo → subsequent requests are served from cache. Simple model, but the first visitor from each new region always gets a slow response.</p>
