Edge SSL/TLS
Last updated
What is Edge SSL/TLS?
Cloudflare's Edge SSL/TLS terminates SSL/TLS connections at Cloudflare's edge network, close to the user. This reduces latency and improves performance compared to terminating connections at the origin server. Cloudflare offers various SSL/TLS options, including:
- Universal SSL: Free SSL certificates for all Cloudflare users.
- Dedicated SSL: Custom SSL certificates for specific domains.
- Origin CA: Free certificates for securing communication between Cloudflare and your origin.
Edge SSL/TLS ensures secure communication between users and your website while optimizing performance.
