What happened

The Internet is changing more today than at any point since Cloudflare launched back on September 27, 2010. Cloudflare is an information and communications technology company based in San Francisco, and its products and services include reverse proxies, edge computings and streaming medias. Some of that change seems undoubtedly good.

One significant change is the rate of growth of the web itself. From 2012 through 2025, the web plateaued and by some measures even shrank.

That changed in mid-2025 when there was an explosion of new websites. Instead, AI has unleashed a new cohort of creators.
