Cloudflare Radar 2025 Year in Review

I see Ford Motors are still flexing their almost entirely unused /8: https://radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-review/2025#ipv4-traffi...

Better to hang onto it - you never know when you'll suddenly need 16 million IPv4 addresses for uh, car stuff.

I really like how detailed the Government Directed Internet Outages are, when I saw that I wondered if that means the whole country was taken offline, or it's heavily filtered, or some regions within the countries are blocked or what, but if you click in a little, and use the timeline on the bottom, they give some interesting context. Cool.

The PaaS section seems odd to me too. AWS 63% followed by Vercel 7.9%. But Vercel runs on AWS I believe. Azure just 4.6% and no showing for GCP at all.

Wow, the internet has grown 19%, which is surprising that it is still growing at that rate over the year.

Cool that they publish reasonably detailed info! Couple points that stood out to me

* Perplexity beating Gemini for volume?

* Globo #1 in news...never heard of it (Latin Am. news)

* Only 4.2% http is from bots? Seems low relative to people's complaints about it on blogs

* >50% post quantum encrypted (of TLS1.3 I think, not overall)

Claude is coming up in 6th or 7th place and below in most countries including US, but in 2nd place in the world, how is it possible, what am i missing.

Seems odd that C# does not figure in the top 10 programming languages, yet ASP.Net is the 4th most popular web framework with 10% share?

Where is "Cloudflare Cock-Ups" in this chart? https://radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-review/2025#internet-ou...

this is a goldmine of insights, albeit with the platform bias.

i am not even through the entire report but already spotted some dark horses running the web without much fanfare.

Love the 99.8% malicious traffic on .christmas. I guess literally no one has registered a legitimate .christmas domain.

unfortunately the website is super laggy

Hah, AS16509 beats every other AS in bot traffic by a huge margin. I wonder if at least half of it is due to the major crypto exchanges hosted in AWS Tokyo behind Cloudflare.

Bold of them to not open with their 5-9's uptime.

89.9999%

It is quite surprising that over half of the traffic hitting Cloudflare are still from desktop clients. Based on my observation, most normies are mobile-only users now. Maybe it's user demographic?

Established markets are more desktop heavy, and newer markets are more mobile heavy. Maybe an interesting info to watch out for if you're an app dev.

Also,

> Internet Outages... 174 major Internet disruptions observed globally

So uh... no percentage of impact for each event? ;-)

Verify you are human before you connect to my client, Cloudflare.

No uptime % chart?

vibecoded page? click the panel 3/5 and then panel 4/5. cell about .christmas tld persists. click on tile 5/5. three cells persist.

Some of this data is obviously trash: https://radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-review/2025#api-client-...

There is no way that go is beating python for api client language popularity. Are they just measuring the fact that net/http has a default user agent?
