Cloudflare's Free Solution upgrades mobile apps user experience

KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc., an Internet performance and security company, today announced the Cloudflare Mobile SDK, a free solution that enables any mobile application (app) developer to understand network performance and metrics.

Consumers are frustrated by mobile apps that are slow, crash or deliver errors that degrade the user experience while for mobile app developers, a bad user experience means poor reviews, lower engagement and reduced conversion on business metrics.

There are a number of solutions that give developers analytics on their applications, but there has never been a way for app developers to understand how often their apps fail due to network errors.

Cloudflare, in a statement, said app developers, however, could easily integrate its Mobile SDK with their mobile apps to give them global visibility into network performance and errors.

Cloudflare Mobile SDK also offers minimal dependencies as anyone can use it to collect data, even those not using any Cloudflare infrastructure.

Additionally, the installation of Cloudflare's Mobile SDK only requires developers to add a few lines of code to an iOS or Android application.

The Cloudflare Mobile SDK is complementary to existing developer tools like Crashlytics, Rollbar, Sentry, Instabug and others.

"Cloudflare is focused on helping to build a better Internet, from handset to origin server and back," said co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince.

"We wanted to help mobile app developers track network performance easily and for free, because it's better for the Internet," he added.

Meanwhile, CEO of Branch Metrics, Alex Austin who has already integrated the solution into his apps, said: "Network access has a huge impact on any connected user experience in mobile, but mobile network latency is often ten times the latency of server processing times and mostly untracked."

"Cloudflare's focus on bringing mobile network issues to light with minimal engineering effort will be great for users and even better for developers."

Cloudflare Inc runs one of the world's largest networks that powers more than 10 trillion requests per month, which is nearly 10 percent of all Internet requests for more than 2.5 billion people worldwide.

The company protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software or changing a line of code.
