Case Study: Buzzlie achieves 100% clean traffic and 96% AWS bandwidth savings with Cloudflare

Buzzlie - Customer Case Study

Buzzlie is a fast-growing entertainment site that drives 43 million monthly pageviews and a U.S. Alexa rank of 650 by publishing viral celebrity, fashion and lifestyle content. After rapid growth the site became the target of sophisticated DDoS attacks that exceeded the capacity of its small technical team to mitigate.

Buzzlie put Cloudflare in front of its site for DDoS protection, custom WAF rules, caching and global delivery. The attacks stopped, Cloudflare delivered 100% clean traffic, cut Buzzlie’s AWS bandwidth bill by 96%, and improved international performance—letting the team focus on creating more viral content.
