Case Study: The Hindu Group achieves faster, more secure digital experiences with Cloudflare

The Hindu Group boosts website speed 60% with Cloudflare

The Hindu Group, a major media organization in India, needed to improve website performance and security for its millions of online readers. Their challenge was to deliver faster page load times to prevent reader drop-off while also defending against frequent DDoS and malicious bot attacks. They turned to Cloudflare for its integrated content delivery network (CDN) and security services.

By implementing Cloudflare's CDN, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and DDoS mitigation, The Hindu Group achieved a 60% increase in website speed. Cloudflare now blocks approximately 10 million malicious requests per month. The solution also reduced bandwidth traffic to their backend infrastructure by 90%, cutting costs and preventing potential revenue loss. Additionally, the use of Cloudflare Workers improved developer agility for building new features.
