What this post added

This post emphasizes Cloudflare's mission to build a 'waitless internet' by focusing on factors beyond raw bandwidth. It details how Cloudflare optimizes performance by: 1. Accelerating DNS lookups through caching and global network proximity (1.1.1.1). 2. Reducing latency for TCP and TLS handshakes by deploying servers close to end-users. 3. Highlighting the importance of fast and secure protocols like TLS 1.3 and techniques like session resumption. It also touches upon the challenges of congestion and packet loss in ensuring a smooth internet experience.
