"The report was based on views of Cloudflare's global network, which has a presence in 330 cities in over 125 countries and regions, handling over 81 million HTTP requests per second on average, with more than 129 million HTTP requests per second at peak on behalf of millions of customer web properties, in addition to responding to approximately 67 million DNS queries per second."
"Drilling deeper into the traffic stats, Cloudflare said growth in 2025 appeared to occur in several phases. Traffic was, on average, somewhat flat through mid-April, generally within a couple of percent of the baseline value. However, the study revealed that it then saw growth through May to approximately 5% above baseline, staying in the +4-7% range through mid-August. It was at that time that growth accelerated, climbing steadily through September, October and November, peaking at 19% growth for the year."
Cloudflare's global network handled sustained increases in internet traffic in 2025, with average and peak HTTP request rates and substantial DNS query volumes signaling broad usage growth. Global internet traffic rose 19% in 2025, with significant acceleration beginning in August and a late-November boost. Growth progressed in phases: traffic was mostly flat through mid-April, rose to about 5% above baseline in May and remained +4–7% through mid-August, then accelerated through September–November to a 19% year-end peak. The top internet services experienced some year-over-year ranking shifts and several new entrants appeared in category lists. Satellite communications displayed particularly strong growth.
