Cloudflare releases massive web performance dataset

Cloudflare just made its BEACON dataset public, sharing anonymized data from billions of real users measuring how 10,000 major websites actually perform across browsers, devices, and countries. The data covers core web speed and responsiveness stats—like load time and layout shifts—and updates daily in Google BigQuery. The goal: give everyone, not just big companies, a clearer picture of how fast and stable the web feels for real people, not just on flagship hardware.

Why it mattersMost web performance stats come from high-end devices and ideal networks, missing what billions of users on weak connections or old phones actually see. Cloudflare’s dataset closes this gap for researchers and developers, giving a way to spot where the web falls short for real-world users.
