How Cloudflare blog posts perform on Hacker News
Every HN submission linking to blog.cloudflare.com is tracked here — posts, points, comments, submitters, and blog authors — fetched live from the HN Algolia API. Use the filter bar to scope by time period. Select Year and enable Compare years to overlay two years side by side.

Data Source & Limitations
- Live data: All data is fetched in real-time from the HN Algolia API when you load this page. Results may vary slightly between sessions.
- API cap: The Algolia API limits results to 1,000 hits per query. To work around this, the dashboard splits requests into multiple time ranges. If a single range grows beyond 1,000 submissions, the oldest posts in that range may be missing. As of early 2026, all ranges are well within the cap.
- Blog author data: Author attribution comes from scraping Cloudflare blog post pages, not from HN. Some posts (especially older ones) may have incomplete or missing author info.
