CloudFlare Works with GlobalSign to Make SSL Faster Across the Web

What this post added

This post details Cloudflare's partnership with GlobalSign to significantly improve SSL performance by caching OCSP and CRL requests. This initiative reduces the latency of SSL certificate validation from an average of 500ms to under 100ms, saving approximately 1.5 years of time daily across the web. This directly contributes to making HTTPS connections faster and promotes the adoption of secure protocols like SPDY, aligning with Cloudflare's mission to create a faster and safer internet.
