Good traffic typically consists of legitimate user requests, search engine crawlers, and API calls. DDoS traffic, on the other hand, is characterized by a high volume of requests originating from a single source or a distributed network of compromised devices. Cloudflare distinguishes these by analyzing request patterns, source IP reputation, and other factors. The 'Threats' tab displays traffic Cloudflare has identified as malicious.
