RADAR , Cloudflare’s real‑time view of global Internet trends, has been redesigned to balance technical depth with usability and to broaden its audience beyond expert users. The update responds to feedback that the previous landing page, which used a dense bento‑box layout with vertically arranged cards, was hard to parse and intimidating for first‑time visitors.
The team aimed to preserve Radar’s rigor while making the experience more approachable for journalists, researchers, policymakers, and everyday users, and to strengthen visual cohesion with the broader Cloudflare brand.
The redesigned Radar centres on a map, exposing a global perspective that the data helps illuminate. The top section foregrounds outages and traffic to convey immediate, tangible indicators of Internet activity, while the map serves as a navigation hub into country‑level trends and data stories. Behind the map, the old widgets were replaced with a tabbed flow that presents summary statistics first and then deeper exploration.
The redesign draws on Cloudflare’s three content pillars—marketing, content, and product experiences—moving Radar toward a more intuitive, scannable format while retaining its data integrity. Cloudflare invites feedback to refine the new interface and outlines a vision for ongoing enhancements that combine real‑time insights with clearer storytelling about the state of the Internet.
