**Served by Cloudflare** indicates content served by Cloudflare that did not require contacting your origin web server. **Served by Origin** indicates traffic served from the origin web server.

:::tip
In Cache Analytics, **Served by Cloudflare** is almost always cache hits. More broadly, the same classification also covers Workers responses, [URL forwarding](/rules/url-forwarding/) redirects, and `/cdn-cgi/` endpoints. For the full list, refer to [Security Analytics — Request activity](/waf/analytics/security-analytics/#request-activity).
:::

Revalidated requests — where Cloudflare checks with your origin to confirm cached content is still current — are counted differently depending on the view. In the **Data Transfer** view, revalidated requests count as **Served by Cloudflare** because the response body is served from cache, not re-downloaded from the origin. In the **Requests** view, revalidated requests count as **Served by Origin** because Cloudflare still contacts the origin server to verify the content.

**Cache status** graphs break down why traffic is served from Cloudflare versus the origin web server, organized by content type.

- **Traffic analysis**: Traffic mitigated by the Cloudflare security platform, served by Cloudflare, and served by the origin server, according to the following classification:
- **Mitigated by WAF**: Requests blocked or [challenged](/cloudflare-challenges/challenge-types/challenge-pages/#actions) by Cloudflare's application security products such as the WAF and HTTP DDoS protection. Requests with _Log_, _Skip_, or _Allow_ [actions](/ruleset-engine/rules-language/actions/) are not counted as mitigated.
- **Served by Cloudflare**: Requests served by the Cloudflare global network such as cached content and redirects.
- **Served by Cloudflare**: HTTP requests served by the Cloudflare network without reaching the origin server. This includes:
- Cache hits — Responses served from Cloudflare's [cache](/cache/).
- Redirects — Responses generated by [URL forwarding](/rules/url-forwarding/) products such as Redirect Rules, Bulk Redirects, and Dynamic Redirects.
- `/cdn-cgi/` endpoints — Requests to the Cloudflare-managed [`/cdn-cgi/` endpoint](/fundamentals/reference/cdn-cgi-endpoint/), used by products such as Bot Management JavaScript detections, Image Transformations, and email address obfuscation.
- Workers — Responses returned by a [Cloudflare Worker](/workers/) running on the zone without making an origin subrequest.
- **Served by origin**: Requests served by your origin server.

- **Attack analysis**: [WAF attack score](/waf/detections/attack-score/) analysis of incoming requests, classifying them as _Clean_, _Likely clean_, _Likely attack_, or _Attack_.
