Johannesburg: CloudFlare’s 30th data center

This post announces the deployment of Cloudflare's 30th data center in Johannesburg, South Africa, marking the company's first presence on the African continent. This expansion significantly reduces latency for Internet users in South Africa and the broader Southern African region, with latency improvements ranging from 2x to 100x depending on the location. The deployment was made possible through partnerships with regional providers and addresses the high cost of bandwidth in Africa.
