Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare
We use Cloudflare for DNS & CDN which are a powerful combination with headers provided from the web server
- Content Delivery Network caching
- API connectivity for manual cache clearing of individual items
- API rate limiting
- DNS is second-to-none
- Domain name registration
- Domain name registration / renewal is a little clunky UX
- CDN cache persistence and distribution could last significantly longer
- Convenient to have many services wrapped up in one package (DNS, CDN, domain registration, API gateway, workers / pages)
- Improved uptime
- Integrated server monitoring has helped on rare occasions of outages
- Decreased CDN costs
- DNS management is great, especially compared to registrars or AWS
- Simple and consistent UX across the product suite.
- DNS + CDN layer complete with SSL is amazing
- Security layer built in
- Cloudflare Pages is amazing for static sites, yet to use it for dynamic but plan to.
- Business pricing is effectively fixed at $20 (+ some fixed price add-ons) - predictability is nice for budgeting
Takes 15 minutes to get your domain and DNS transferred, largely thanks to scanning DNS records for you (minor changes might be needed).
