CloudFlare's hosting is geographically distributed to reduce ping time. IP addresses do not necessarily correspond to the location for which a netblock is assigned, nor a single place. look up "anycast IP" -- for example Google's DNS service can be reached at 8.8.8.8 from many places in the world. This reduces latency/ping time. For example, NYC and LA are about 65-70ms apart by fiber. It makes sense to host two copies of a site/service, one on each coast, so it loads faster.
This^ - Cybersecurity Pede here - Please do not confuse this or push this as fact, as it's Cloud flares IP range as shown here - https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/
Most websites utilize Cloud flare to stop spammers, bots, automated attacks, DoS attacks, etc.
Specifically most smaller or new sites use it so they dont have to massively invest into an infrastructure plan that can handle these types of non-natural requests.
IT pede here. Cloudflare doesn't host anything, they act as a proxy to prevent DDoS attacks (mostly). TheDonald.win and Greatawakening.win use it to:
