-- -- do and I'm well our users and AM agree -- before we start talking about the business environment -- -- -- -- does.

-- -- -- guys trying to bring the performance and security tools that the Internet giants have.

To anyone with a website which is on line so we'll make web sites twice as fast.

We'll protect them from all kinds of online threats and only -- about five minutes to sign up for it and so it's really easy for any small business online.

Is it just for small businesses -- can anybody's it.

-- literally anyone can use -- we have everything from individual bloggers to fortune 500 companies even national governments use cloud -- these days there -- a 100000.

Different web sites.

Which are using the service to make their sites twice as fast and protect them from a wide range of Internet attacks.

What does it do amazing -- What's actually how does that work to do that.

So what we did this really revolutionary is that instead of requiring you is that small business to install more hardware -- change any of the software on your website.

What we do is we work at the network layer so we've got some incredible engineers that have literally built fourteen data senators they're scattered all around the world.

And traffic to your website before it hits your actual web server will pass through our network.

Where we can clean it up of any threats or terrorist attacks that happen and -- we can make sure that it's is being delivered as fast as possible anywhere in the world so.

It it means that anyone with a website all of a sudden has the resources of a Google or Yahoo! or one of the Internet giants.

That's pretty revolutionary seem like -- gatekeeper.

-- I mean I think what we're trying to do is make the Internet fast.

And -- for every one on line and as as a result of that.

We're able to help small companies that didn't necessarily have huge resources compete with really big companies.

OK and I -- you offered some tips on how to make.

What's -- continue to make their web say it's better and one of the things you say was spirit training what's that.

Well -- what we really thought was that he we wanted to make sure that you could have your site be incredibly fast what.

Amazon line found was that for every tenth -- -- second they made their site faster they had an an additional 1% of revenue and so e-commerce sites that are actually making money online speed translates to dollars and so using a service like cloud flair and and training your site up to that it's actually being as fast as possible Wesley lead to more performance down the -- We have the web say -- -- now.

You know self defense on the web is a huge issue several crime is out there continues to be -- mean heck we so FaceBook getting hacked.

So what -- due to protect myself from Matt.

One of the things I mean I I -- it really disturbing that we've seen a 700%.

Increase in denial of service attacks being launched attacks at web sites.

We hit your stories all the time for customers that come to us about.

How their site was compromise maybe there -- small business there was one in Alabama that actually got compromise.

-- eight criminal was using that site then to host child pornography and up on the nightly news as the disaster for any small business to a cloud player does is we act as a protective layer that sits in front of your website.

And stops the hackers before they even get there before they're even stopped on line and that's that's really been something that's -- in the marketplace.

We want to deliver security to all those people that don't have the resources of a FaceBook or Google.

When it would have a Smartphone can -- use this semi Smart phone.

When things -- I mean the mobile web has grown massively and so while we don't protect the Smartphones well I think this really magical about cloud -- is that we make web sites loads significantly faster on a Smart phone so if you have -- if -- -- small business and you have a website.

And you have customers that are using Smartphones in order to access that site.

And what cloud -- news for the rest the -- were about twice as fast we'll make website even and even faster when you're accessing them on -- web on our mobile phone or Smartphone.

And that's without you having to change anything on your site.

Literally just sign up for the service and and really quickly or 90% as fast it's.

Except the web -- is cloud flare dot com Matthew -- CEO basic -- time explain both us there.

Tracy thanks for having me.
