All except the greatest DDoS attempts are stopped by Cloudflare's security. Cloudflare is a worldwide cloud network that can safeguard and speed up any website. Cloudflare is ahead of the competition because of its global reach and cutting-edge tools for speeding up and optimizing both static and dynamic web traffic.
There are two ways to get started with Cloudflare; the first is to make Cloudflare your domain name server (DNS). Changing the domain's nameservers at the registrar to the ones Cloudflare provides when onboarding a domain and creating the necessary DNS entries in the Cloudflare DNS dashboard constitutes setting up the DNS. Both processes are user-friendly and easy to get started. Assistance is always available if needed.
In a nutshell, Cloudflare is a renowned content delivery network (CDN) that provides dependable services that can assist in making your website perform more smoothly. They have a wide variety of possibilities, so there is a good chance that one of them will suit your needs. I enjoy the responsive service I get.

It took roughly 7 seconds to load the PHP-based site. The site had been hosted on a shared server in Sydney while using CloudFlare. In our experience building the @TuffTruck website, we discovered that DigitalOcean was incredibly quick—so fast that Australian users experienced a 2-second speed boost despite the company's international location. We discovered that several WordPress plugins were significantly increasing the TTFB; disabling all plugins resulted in a 1.5-second reduction in the time it took WordPress to reply. Using an "on/off" method, we narrowed it down to two plugins by Ontraport (a customer relationship management tool used to fill out parts of the forms). We ditched it in favor of a custom WordPress plugin that only sends data to Ontraport when necessary. Now that we have a workable time for the first byte (TTFB), we can focus on reducing the total page load time. By activating Cloudflare's HTML/CSS/JS minifications and Rocket Loader, we could get our collection of test pages, including the homepage, to load [in full] in a little more than 2 seconds.
