Deliver a lightning fast web experience

Cloudflare optimizes the performance of your websites and applications, delivering fast content through its global network. Cloudflare Pro is best suited for professional websites, high traffic blogs, and startups requiring increased security and performance.

Bundle the Pro plan with Argo Smart Routing and/or Load Balancing to maximize your web application speed, performance, and availability.

Website optimization tools included in the Pro Plan

Lossless and Lossy Image Optimization

Reduces image sizes by stripping metadata and applying lossless or lossy compression to remove redundant bytes from images using Polish.

Accelerated Image Delivery for Mobile

Use Mirage to accelerate image delivery based on your visitor's device. Mirage automatically detects screen size and connection speed to optimally deliver images.

Prioritized Loading of Key Site Assets

Enable your server rather than visitors’ browsers to make prioritization decisions about which site resources are loaded first using Enhanced HTTP/2 Prioritization.

Analyze and Improve CDN Caching

See what site assets cannot be served by the Cloudflare CDN because they are missing, expired, or ineligible for caching. Use this data to make changes to increase the number of cached resources and improve site speed.

WordPress Plugin

Optimize your WordPress site by using the Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) plugin for CDN, intelligent caching, and more. Turn it on and go (up to 300% faster).

Content Prefetch for Google Search

Improve Core Web Vitals, such as the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), that are key factors in organic search rankings (SEO). Automatic Signed Exchange enables Chromium based browsers to prefetch your website on Google's search results page and make your website faster.
