Among European Companies That Use a CDN, Nearly 9 in 10 Use Cloudflare
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
89.6% of European companies using a CDN rely on Cloudflare, per CipherCue data.
CipherCue tracked 44,143 European companies with a detected CDN; 39,547 (89.6%) use Cloudflare. Amazon is second at 3,112, Fastly third at 1,299, Akamai fourth at 396. Cloudflare share varies by country: 95.6% in the Netherlands, 78.8% in Spain and Ireland. The article notes that CDN concentration creates a shared outage risk, citing three Cloudflare incidents (Nov 2025, Dec 2025, Feb 2026) caused by internal errors. The data excludes companies without a CDN and skews toward small and mid-sized firms.
What commenters are saying
Several commenters recommend Bunny.net as a European CDN alternative, noting its growing feature set (edge scripting, databases) but also immaturity, including Discord-only support claims and bot issues after certificate issuance. One commenter notes Cloudflare Tunnel has no equivalent elsewhere, though frp is suggested as a substitute. A top-level comment argues that US tech dominance is hard to unwind, with another suggesting provoking US retaliation might force European decoupling. A correction: European blocks affect specific Cloudflare properties, not the entire CDN.
