Cloudflare Reviews & Product Details

Having free and paid options is the best thing about Cloudflare. Besides being the best cloud DNS service provided the features are amazing and it's very easy to use. Very minimal downtime and the amount of features in the free service makes it stand above the others.

Nothing to dislike about the service. It has the perfect balance between free and paid subscribers.

Cloudflare solves all the migration issues I've had in the past. Delegating to a new service or migrating email service providers is not flawless and has ZERO downtime. It is so good that I believe it's the only way a website should be set up.

I love how easy to use cloudflare is. It's powerful enough to super users, but easy enough for novices.

I struggle to find anything of note that I would complain about when it comes to cloudflare.

I'm using cloudflare for DNS as well as a cdn to improve the speed of my sites.

I like how Cloudflare is an all-in-one service. They build solutions that work for small businesses to large (enterprise) businesses.

I dislike the limitations on DNS configuration as well as some strange limitations on the API unless you are using the Enterprise plan.

Caching content on the edge and enabling security issues before they reach the origin.

The CDN feature is really helpful, I have able to upscale up the website speed under 1s from 10s, it just works amazing, and it's free. The Analytics Dashboard it provides is just awesome to understand the monthly data and bandwidth usage by the website and scale up the site and optimize it. It also has a dashboard to see the Browser Insights and an overview of how fast is the website in development mode and in real time.

Few of the features Argo is categorized to premium would like to try first on a trial basis before purchasing sadly that option is missing in Cloud Flare. During the initial setup, DNS propagation takes time to reflect and the First analysis on the dashboard takes time as well. CMS Integration need to serve more features.

Making CDN(Content Delivery Network) make the website load fast in the different regions based on the request, Analysis of the visitors based on the country and get some insights about how fast the website is loading and optimize the website based on that.

Free Cloudflare SSL certificate, which is trusted by everyone using the internet and is highly secure. Once a Cloudflare plan is set up on a website, one does not need to worry about renewing the SSL certificate or set it up for the first time. Cloudflare is extremely user-friendly that it does things that should be done without the user having to worry about.

Cloudflare should improve the account settings page in the user account dashboard. Like a user should be able to independently change their email, password, or add a phone number, etc.

The nearest data center serving a visitor of your website using the geographical advantage is the best ever thing that can happen to your website performance especially when a typical shared hosting is there.

I have been observing the performance and security of my client's websites for three years. When I build a website or e-commerce, website speed is critical. Website performance is the first step to gaining credibility from your website visitors. It should not be overlooked, especially for online stores. E-commerce websites have more images than personal websites or blogs. Online stores with slow access will reduce the trust of your potential customers. Your e-commerce bounce rate will also increase. It will hurt your e-commerce rank on popular search engines. Security is the second factor I always consider. Not all my clients use dedicated hosting. Some of them choose Webhosting without powerful DDOS features. They are retail e-commerce owners. I don't want to burden them with extra costs to improve their web security from attackers. The good news is: Cloudflare can solve these two crucial problems for free. My clients have never complained about their e-commerce performance. It has been three years since they use Cloudflare's free plan. Cloudflare has many servers spread across almost all countries in the world. Cloudflare features fast and secure internet content delivery. CDN allows super-fast data transfers needed to load WordPress websites and e-commerce content. Another factor that increases website performance is traffic filtering and converting web pages into static content. The cache system on the CDN will reduce significantly when many visitors access the page simultaneously. The sophistication of this feature will save hosting resources and bandwidth. My clients who use shared hosting with limited bandwidth are delighted with the information I explain in detail. They don't worry about getting a "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" message because many bot visitors attacked their site. One more thing I like about Cloudflare is that it doesn't include a credit link, even though we didn't choose the PRO package. I've used another Free CDN before so that I can compare it. Imagine, you can get many great features of Cloudflare for free. So, it's not a surprise to me that Cloudflare is becoming a top-rated CDN service.

If you choose a free package and want to switch to another hosting, then you must understand about IP Address of your new hosting. It would be best if you changed it manually through the DNS settings menu. Some users may be inconvenient to do it, especially for new users that have not yet experienced using a CDN account. Cloudflare's free plan disables users from customing their nameserver. When my clients need it, I will advise them to upgrade to the PRO plan. Problem with modifying web themes. If you modify the themes on e-commerce or blog engines, it will not automatically make the changes you can see in real-time. For example, you change the background color of the header or website logo. You need to log in to your Cloudflare account to modify cache settings on the Cloudflare dashboard. If you don't have direct access to your Cloudflare account, It is a small problem. You need to contact the Cloudflare account holder to custom it. Everything in this world always has two sides. There is pros and cons side. However, the two cons that I mentioned above are not the main problems that often occur by Cloudflare users. Besides web developer, I am a full-time blogger since 2012. Cloudflare is the best choice for better website performance.

Cloudflare has been protecting my client's website from thousands of bot visitors and attackers. Cloudflare makes my client website never down again. Cloudflare is the best choice for better website performance.

This website allows you to use a proper CDN without paying for it, if you need further assistant or premium options, you can always pay for it. However, as far as I have been using it I have no problems with it. Cloudflare allows people worldwide to see your website from a near server and not from your original server unless that user is close to you. Is easy to set up and if you use WordPress there are thousands of plugins that can work great with it. But, make sure the plugin has a Cloudflare integration.

When first I make the settings I needed help and my hosting provider helps me faster than Cloudflare itself, they took so long to answer me back, that I almost lose hope. Either way, the problem was actually on the hosting settings, so I got the client service that I needed. The Cloudflare website isn't easy to read for people who know nothing about CDN and that kind of stuff, so you may want to read a little about what you need and maybe look into videos explaining how to set it up.

Basically allows me to show faster information from my blog to readers around the world, while I'm still struggling with a faster load, Cloudflare has helped me already with it.

Cloudflare makes it easy to config the optimal DNS and CDN services without complicated server configuration. We also love that the base services are free. They always seem to do what's best for the consumer and the internet. Any time there is an issue they are transparent about what is going on and when it will be fixed.

Among the average consumer, it's still mostly unknown so it takes some explaining sometimes when we want to move a client's DNS onto Cloudflare. Also would love to be able to add users to our account for only single sites so that our clients can have access to their own DNS without having to create a bunch of Cloudflare accounts.

We have hosting companies that only use CNAME's for configuring sites on their services. This is a problem when you want to have the root domain (non-subdomain) be the primary URL. There are very few services that can provide CNAME records on the root domain. On top of that, we get improved speeds (CDN), DDoS protection, and many other small tweaks that are a few clicks away without a complicated server setup.

Cloudflare is very easy to use and it offers many free services like free SSL, CDN, DNS. It also helps secure your server thank to the ability to block DDOS.

The free plan plan limits 3 page rules. I hope they can increase the limit. Others are very good.

Free SSL and CDN. I always points my domain (from Namecheap or Godaddy) to Cloudflare to manage all the domains in one place. It saves a lot of time and effort when you need to adjust the DNS or update the DNS records.

Its free version is also offering cdn services along with https certificate

When i optimised my website it reflects changes in css

Making secure my website , along with i can block users whom i don't want to access, country wise i can block users

For anyone starting out in the world of web development, setting up and using a CDN can be a very daunting task. This is where Cloudflare comes in. With a streamlined setup process and straightforward controls, you will be set up and ready to go within minutes of signing up for an account. For 90% of users out there, the free version provides above and beyond what you will require from a CDN. With additional DDoS protection, a strong firewall and extremely fast caching, it takes your website from being about average to one of the best on the market. Some websites can experience load times that are anywhere between 2x and 10x faster.

Being limited to 3 page rules is one thing where Cloudflare feels like it could fall short on. 5 would've been a nice number. But if you can get a little technical with how URLs work in general, you can combine multiple rules into one, giving in essence more than 3 page rules.

Google searches have proven that if users don't see a webpage within 2 seconds of clicking a link, they never visit the website again. With Cloudflare, not only do users see my webpage within a second of clicking a link, they are also incentivized to look around and in doing so, find more content that they might be interested in. This has increased user retention for my website, while also helping sign up new users to the mailing list to keep an active pool of engaged users.

Cloudflare CDN have servers all over the globe, which reaches my customers very quickly no matter where they’re located. A slow website can decrease engagement and retention, but with Cloudflare, I can be confident that my website will load quickly for everyone internationally. Cloudflare also saves my website’s data usage and have a nice panel showing the bandwidth I’m saving with Cloudflare. This lowers my infrastructure costs so I don’t have to pay more for data since Cloudflare already cached my images and files through their CDN.

Sometimes website functionality can break if they’re proxied through Cloudflare. Sometimes I have to turn off Cloudflare when I’m editing my website. Other than that little nuisance, I can’t really complain when they’re offering this service for free.

Cloudflare has made my site availability higher because they use anycast IPs to serve my website instead of just one centralized IP. My website mainly stream and deliver videos, so it’s important that it remains uncensored and fast. I believe that this will allow my websites to bypass country blocks and reach more visitors in the world.

It's easy to use You can take advantage of their massive CDN capabilities for free Many security settings DNS configuration Easy migration Great spam protection

You can't clear cache for 1 subdomain without a paid option

Offering a free CDN to all my customers

Free trial! it also is great for site speed

there were a few instances were the site went down due to proxies not being set up properly on our end, but there was no walk-through to help.

Site speed as increased 20%

Cloudflare is the service I put in front of every website I manage, as the very first thing. The range of features Cloudflare provides on every tier, even the free one, is unmatched by any other CDN or security provider, Every new feature they add is an engineer's dream, and I find myself nodding in approval, even if that feature is not relevant to me or my company.

I have absolutely no use for their App marketplace,

With Cloudflare we always use these features: - DDoS protection - automatic security features - web application firewall rules - top notch DNS, incl. DNS security features - lowest cost domain names anywhere - full fledged CDN - automated CDN features such as Brotli compression and webp image transcoding - page rules to handle admin pages differently from visitor-facing website
