 With `CNAME` flattening, Cloudflare finds the IP address that a `CNAME` points to. This process could involve a single lookup or multiple (if your `CNAME` points to another `CNAME`). Cloudflare then returns the final IP address instead of a `CNAME` record, helping DNS queries resolve up to 30% faster.
