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 data analytics companies?
Cloudflare is the most-detected CDN among UK data analytics companies, with 87.1% share (1,497 of 1,719 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Amazon CloudFront (19.5%) and Amazon S3 (19%).
How many UK data analytics companies have a detectable CDN?
1,719 of 2,997 actively-trading UK data analytics companies (57.4%) 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 is a content delivery network used to cache and serve website or application assets closer to users, reducing reliance on a single origin server. For UK data analytics companies, it typically sits in front of public sites, application interfaces, documentation, and static assets that need reliable delivery.
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 data analytics companies, Cloudflare or Amazon CloudFront?
Cloudflare: 1,497 detected companies versus 335 for Amazon CloudFront, of the 1,719 UK data analytics companies with a detectable CDN.
What is the best CDN for UK data analytics companies?
This page publishes observed CDN usage rather than recommendations, so it does not name a best CDN. Among 1,725 UK data analytics companies with a detectable CDN, Cloudflare leads every employee band: 86.9% in Under 10 employees, 88.0% in 10–50 employees, and 82.1% in Over 50 employees.
