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)

I was surprised as well. And then Snapchat ( is that still a thing ? ) is higher than X ?
Shopee larger than Temu?
I assume a lot of these are Cloudflare customer's specific, or 1.1.1.1 DNS user specific.

There's a particular narrow age range demo that did everything on Snapchat and still use it as their primary way to talk to friends and send messages without giving out a phone number.
X, people fled their long ago. Staggering amount of bot v not traffic.

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

2.2 billion people without internet, and far more without "broadband".
Keep in mind that electrification isn't everywhere, either.

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.

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.

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

Bold of them to not open with their 5-9's uptime.
89.9999%
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.
