on Happy Manjaro Certificate expiration day! To all who celebrate! in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
LetsEncrypt also gives you a month to update certificate, you don’t even have to do it yourself, just run a script once a week in cron. That’s such a level of incompetence I wonder why anyone will trust them with a distro when they can’t even do such a simple task.

Doesn’t your link show top 100k sites that use Cloudflare? I mean it’s Home -> Trends -> Content Delivery Network -> Websites using Cloudflare -> Top 100k Sites by Traffic there.
That same site says CF is ~35% trends.builtwith.com/cdn
Which is a lot more than I thought(and a lot less than the entire world), probably misunderstood CF own claim of 20% of the Internet as sites when it’s for traffic.
What surprised me is that 95% is not shared by CF, AWS(just 8% seems sus), Azure(not even in their stats), by their stats almost half of the Internet is run by smaller CDNs(if I interpret their Other correctly). To me personally it sounds way too good and suspicious, maybe there is some survivorship bias at play there.

That’s interesting.
Cloudflare says on their homepage “Everything we learned from powering 20% of the Internet”. But I wonder what they mean by 20% of the Internet, is it about sites or traffic?
They also say “Cloudflare powers 45% of the Fortune 500” which correlates with your numbers.
So 29% websites, 20% traffic and 45% of F500 seems reasonable, where other 71% is shared between AWS, Azure, smaller CDNs and those brave people not using CDNs at all.
The other poster also shared a link where stats seems similar for CF(~1/3) trends.builtwith.com/cdn
Still very far from “the entire world” claim in OP.

Not really, Cloudflare is popular among common people due to their free services. Enterprise is more about AWS and Azure because their servers are already there.
Edit. Btw 20% is Cloudflare’s own claim.

Cloudflare is just 20% of the websites, like 1/5 of the entire world.
Could have just stored those in PiFS github.com/philipl/pifs
