Cloudflare is 'dominating' because of their free tier. There are other services actual companies use. Fastly, Akamai, AWS Cloudfront, CacheFly and more.

CF having that free tier is a HUGE reason me and people I know stick with it. None of us want to have to throw money at a CF-like service for a low-traffic site, or for an MVP, or... At some point, it definitely becomes worth it, but Cloudflare's free tier is a HUGE boon early on imho.

They also provide incredible value at the pro and business tiers while other providers cost thousands for less features.

Fastly was good for technical setups but Cloudflare Workers blows away Varnish VCL config.
