Argo Smart Routing
Globally accelerate your traffic with a single click
The public Internet does its best to deliver your content — but it can’t account for network congestion, leading to slow load times and a degraded end-user experience.
The Cloudflare network is different. It routes an average of 46 million requests per second — giving our Argo Smart Routing service a unique vantage point to detect real-time congestion and route web traffic across the fastest and most reliable network paths.
On average, web assets using Argo perform 30% faster.
Faster Loading Times
Argo delivers web traffic over the fastest links available resulting in noticeably faster web assets and improved end-user experience
Increased Reliability
Argo’s live view of network conditions enables it to route around congestion and leverage the most reliable links to deliver increased uptime
Integrated Security
All Argo traffic is encrypted end-to-end across the Cloudflare network, protecting web traffic from bad actors
Reduced Costs
Argo minimizes content requests to the origin server, reducing latency, server load, and bandwidth usage
"With Argo, we decreased latency by up to 36 percent and saw 42 percent fewer timeouts, meaning more matches and better connections for our users."

Dynamic content delivery
Almost half of users will abandon a page taking more than two seconds to load
End-user experiences need to be immersive, interactive, and fast – regardless of the user's location, device, or current network conditions. Argo offers:
- Congestion Avoidance, with routing decisions informed by real-time network conditions
- Tiered Caching, with content served from adjacent data centers to reduce cache-miss rates, server load, and latency
- TCP Optimizations to further minimize latency for non-cacheable content
- Global Support, with network routes across the entire Cloudflare network, including China
Accelerate any traffic
