The description does not mean website owners are paying so that users of this app can get a faster connection to them. It just means website owners pay Cloudflare already, Cloudflare’s business model is selling services to website owners, and so this dinky app for consumers has no need to make money and therefore is free.

Wellll.... paying Cf customers will get lower latency service using this, just as Cloudfront gives better service to AWS users.

That’s part of why this app is in CF’s interests.

This app only redirects DNS, it does not tunnel any other networking. The DNS speedup someone will get by using this app applies to all domains, not just those of websites that pay for Cloudflare.
