How CDN usage is detected

Methodology

Company data

Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.

Detection

Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.

Freshness

Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most-used CDN among UK B2B companies?
Cloudflare is the most-detected CDN among UK B2B companies, with 93.9% share (29,089 of 30,973 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Amazon CloudFront (5.8%) and Fastly (0.9%).
How many UK B2B companies have a detectable CDN?
30,973 of 112,345 actively-trading UK B2B companies (27.6%) have a CDN detectable from their public website. The remainder either run systems with no public web footprint or none at all, so detected share figures are a conservative floor.
What is a CDN?
A CDN stores and serves website assets from infrastructure closer to the visitor, reducing the distance that pages, images, scripts and other files need to travel. For UK B2B companies, it usually sits in front of a website or web application, helping with delivery speed, traffic routing and availability during busy periods.
How is CDN usage detected?
Firmbase crawls the public website of every actively-trading company in this scope and fingerprints the technologies present — scripts, widgets, booking and checkout flows. A company is attributed to a system when that system's signatures are found; systems with no public web footprint are not attributable, which is why every share figure on this page means share of companies with a detectable system.
Which has more UK B2B companies, Cloudflare or Amazon CloudFront?
Cloudflare: 29,089 detected companies versus 1,802 for Amazon CloudFront, of the 30,973 UK B2B companies with a detectable CDN.
What is the best CDN for UK B2B companies?
