Agent Traffic Will Dominate The Web

Cloudflare's CEO predicts that by 2027 AI-driven agents and bots will generate more web traffic than humans, because an agent performing a single user task can visit hundreds or thousands of sites. That surge creates real load, new attack surfaces, and a demand for ephemeral sandboxes and agent‑orchestration infrastructure that can be spun up and torn down per task. — If true, this shifts internet economics, platform power, moderation burdens, and privacy risk from human users to automated agent ecosystems—forcing new standards, costs, and regulatory questions.
