CMH

Columbus, US Colo codes are IATA airport codes, so this one names a building you can point at on a map.

The readout

Every field, and what it actually tells you

Cloudflare attaches all of this to the request before the Worker runs. It is more than /cdn-cgi/trace exposes and it costs no extra round trip, which is why nothing on this page fetches anything to build it.

FieldValueMeaning
colo CMH The datacenter that terminated your connection. This is the answer.
colo city Columbus, US Looked up locally from the airport code. The table covers 248 datacenters.
client ip 216.73.216.137 The address Cloudflare sees. Behind a VPN or WARP this is the tunnel's address, not yours.
asn AS16509 The network that address belongs to. AS13335 is Cloudflare itself.
as org Anthropic, PBC The operator of that network, usually your ISP.
city Columbus Where Cloudflare geolocates you. Frequently coarse, and wrong on a VPN.
region Ohio State or province, where Cloudflare has one.
country US ISO country code for the client address.
timezone America/New_York Timezone inferred from that location, not read from your browser.
client tcp rtt 1 ms Measured round trip between you and the colo. The honest distance number on this page.
http protocol HTTP/2 Protocol negotiated for this connection.
tls version TLSv1.3 TLS version negotiated.
tls cipher AEAD-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Cipher suite negotiated.

This reading is not permanent

Cloudflare announces the same addresses from every datacenter, so the one you reach is decided by internet routing rather than by anything on this page. Maintenance, a capacity shift, or your ISP changing peering can all move you to a different colo without anything changing on your side.

Check it again

Ask the edge a second time

This hits /api/trace, which returns the same reading as JSON. Running it twice in a row is the cheapest way to see whether your colo is stable.

Not run yet. The reading above came with the page.
