Case Study: Envato cuts flagship response times ~50% with Cloudflare
Key results
The challenge
Envato, a media and creative-marketplace company serving around two million customers per year, had suffered denial-of-service and extortion attacks, including a large-scale distributed denial-of-service attack that took the entire platform down for a number of hours.
The solution
Envato partnered with Cloudflare to secure and accelerate its web applications, offloading traffic from its origin servers and using Workers to reduce data leakage and strengthen its security posture.
“Cloudflare takes care of the complex and tedious stuff required to secure and run our web applications, allowing us to focus on what we really care about — delivering better products and experiences to our customers.”

The results, in context
Over five years with Cloudflare, Envato saw response times on its flagship sites decrease by roughly 50%. The company now offloads more than 20 terabytes of data from its origin servers each month.
