That's right. CloudFlare doesn't have traffic limits.

But if a site gets a lot of traffic it's likely a business, and businesses have additional requirements. So, the paid plans become attractive (e.g. getting the WAF protection, or better DDoS protection, or mobile optimization, or SSL) and so people upgrade.



It would be interesting to see a chart/histogram showing the breakdown of number/percentage of CloudFlare-served sites vs how much data they serve.

I'm guessing that there will be a handful of sites serving a LOT of data, and a LOT of sites serving very little data...
