Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare

Cloudflare is used in our organization to provide security by protecting Internet properties from malicious activity like DDoS attacks, malicious bots, and other nefarious intrusions. It also allows website owners to easily insert applications into their websites without needing to be a developer. Cloudflare saves CPU resources and bandwidth by serving the static content directly from global data centers. Mirage automatically optimizes image loading through virtualized and lazyloaded images. Cloudflare is also used as a CDN to cache and deliver our site's static resources quickly, for public DNS, SSL acceleration, WAF and DDoS/bot protection, and fast network routing. Cloudflare helps us stay fast, redundant, and protected. We also use Cloudflare logging for analytics.

Fundamentally, Cloudflare is a large network of servers that can improve the security, performance, and reliability of anything connected to the Internet. The Cloudflare global network is built with end-to-end traffic automation for reliability and performance that customers trust. No one wants manual connectivity to many cloud networks that force security tradeoffs.
The onboarding process was smooth. We have successfully enabled the Cloudflare. Once our website is added to Cloudflare, it becomes active almost immediately. However, DNS propagation worldwide can take up to 24 hours. We received an email from Cloudflare when our domain was active. We can also able to check on the “Websites” page of our account for the status of our website.
Prompt and meaningful support in case of urgency and complexity of the issue. Cloudflare support team works 24/7 to resolve the issues completely. The trust & safety team also gives quick support to solve the problem. Used Io to get replies quickly. Cloudflare support team resolves many critical issues without wasting important time.

It allows only genuine users to access the website so that the resources of your website are saved, and the speed of your website is improved. Cloudflare protects your website from DOS and DDoS attacks. Even if the website goes slow, Cloudflare will serve the cached files until the site comes back to normal. It is worth using CloudFlare only if the site has enough traffic or to protect the site from hackers. Since Cloudflare acts as a middleman, if it goes down, even your website will drop down.
