Cloudflare wants streaming latency below 10 seconds

Cloudflare is signaling a much lower-latency delivery target, but the only concrete fact here is the gap between today’s 30-60 seconds and the desired sub-10-second range. For the streaming stack, that puts latency squarely back on the CDN/delivery agenda rather than just the player or workflow layer. The statement also gives the market a specific benchmark to watch, even without implementation details. Next signal to track: whether Cloudflare follows this public target with a named product change or measured latency results.
