Cloudflare, based in San Francisco, works behind the scenes to make the internet faster and safer, but when problems flare up 鈥渋t results in massive digital gridlock鈥� for internet users, cybersecurity expert Mike Chapple said.

While most people think there鈥檚 a direct line between their digital device and a website, what actually happens is that companies like Cloudflare sits in the middle of those connections, he said.

Cloudflare is a 鈥渃ontent delivery network鈥� that takes content from 20% of the world鈥檚 websites and mirrors them on thousands of servers worldwide, said Chapple, an information technology professor at the University of Notre Dame鈥檚 Mendoza College of Business.

鈥淲hen you access a website protected by Cloudflare, your computer doesn鈥檛 connect directly to that site,鈥� Chapple said. 鈥淚nstead, it connects to the nearest Cloudflare server, which might be very close to your home. That protects the website from a flood of traffic, and it provides you with a faster response. It鈥檚 a win-win for everyone, until it fails, and 20% of the internet goes down at the same time.鈥�
