Cloudflare Radar launched a new Top-Level Domain (TLD) insights page that provides comprehensive data on TLD popularity, traffic patterns, and security metrics. The page uses DNS Magnitude—a metric measuring how many unique networks query domains within a TLD—to rank over 2,500 TLDs. Surprisingly, .su (Soviet Union's legacy TLD) tops the ranking due to queries from a popular online game. Individual TLD pages offer detailed information including DNSSEC support, RDAP availability, DNS query volumes, certificate issuance data, and geographic distribution. The feature extends existing DNS insights to all delegated TLDs and integrates with Cloudflare Registrar for domain registration. All data is accessible via API and the Radar Data Explorer.
