Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare
Cloudflare accelerates secure content delivery for our customers and saved us money over our previous solution. The orange cloud (proxy) methodology of Cloudflare has saved us countless hours not having to set up Nginx to provide SSL for our CNAMEs. Cloudflare Workers helped us step up our SEO game by enabling us the ability to modify our traffic in real-time to provide just-in-time content for our customers. This enables us to be more nimble when our website's codebase is not.
Pros
- Many free services. Able to secure websites with Cloudflare's proxy service.
- Page rules - Crucial page redirects to extend the usefulness of your domain portfolio
- Workers - Able to deliver full websites without needing to standup a server
Cons
- Make sure to understand how many connections your website content has each month. Needed to renegotiate the contract upwards after 6 months as this was underestimated.
- Workers
- Page Rules
- Argo Tunnels and Load Balancers
- Access
- Reduced CDN Spend
- Increased speed to launch new website concepts
- Secured employee intranet access
Cloudflare was 4x cheaper to use as our image CDN over Cloudfront for the same content in our AWS S3 bucket.
