### [2026 Birthday week: network performance update](https://yomu.fyi/post/2026-birthday-week-network-performance-update.md)

Cloudflare is now the fastest provider in 74% of the top 1,000 global networks, up from 60% in April 2026, representing an additional 150 networks and 38 countries. Performance is measured using connection time (TCP handshake) and the trimean of connection times, which combines the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles to reduce outlier influence. To expand data collection, Cloudflare introduced a new methodology using Challenge Pages, which run non-interactive background measurements fetching lightweight files from providers including Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront, Google, Fastly, and Akamai. Challenge Pages are delivered by Turnstile and preserve privacy while providing broader reach than error-page measurements alone. This increased measurement volume narrows confidence intervals around trimean values, making rankings more stable in networks where top providers are separated by only a millisecond or two.


### [Agents can now set up your website’s security with Turnstile Spin](https://yomu.fyi/post/agents-can-now-set-up-your-website-s-security-with-turnstile-spin.md)

Cloudflare launched Turnstile Spin, an agent-mediated implementation of its Turnstile CAPTCHA alternative that AI coding agents use to set up security on any website. The two-step Turnstile flow requires a frontend widget and a backend Siteverify call, but many sites skip the backend validation, leaving them exposed to bots. Spin uses the user’s AI coding agent to find frontend and backend code, propose a plan, and after approval automatically embed the widget and wire up the Siteverify call without sending code to Cloudflare. It also fixes improperly installed widgets detected by monitoring Siteverify calls and handles migrations from other CAPTCHA providers. Since its July release over 65,000 widgets have been created via Spin and the generated prompt has been copied more than 30,000 times, and the service remains free.
