Our CDN is an integral part of the [Cloudflare connectivity cloud](https://www.cloudflare.com/connectivity-cloud/), a unified platform of cloud-native services that provide fast, secure connectivity between any user, website, and infrastructure. It’s built on a global network that spans more than 335 cities, offers more than 500 Tbps of network capacity, and serves many of the world’s largest applications.

All of this means you can get enterprise-grade CDN services entirely for free — along with free built-in security functionality to keep your site safe from the largest attacks.
