About Cloudflare
Cloudflare Inc. is a web performance and security company on a mission to build a better Internet.
The free plan is great for small to medium-sized websites. It has all you need at no cost.
Also every now and then my site looks odd. I clear the cache on site and browser and it still looks odd.

Cloudflare Review
Comments: My overall experience with Cloudflare is very good. Cloudflare really helps us on exposing and securing our applications.
Pros:
We are using Cloudflare as loadbalancer and CDN provider. The services that Cloudflare providing is very stable and secure.
Cons:
The live customer support process can be enhanced. When the production system is impaired, we need someone to talk to immediately.
Alternatives Considered:
All-in-One Solution for your websites
Comments: I've had a really smooth experience with Cloudflare. In addition to domain registration, they offer many options to make your website safer, faster, and more efficient. It’s everything you could want in one platform.
Pros:
In my opinion, Cloudflare is the best domain registrar out there. You only pay the basic ICANN fee with no additional charges - at least that's what they claim. It's cheaper compared to competition either way.
Cons:
I wish they had a mobile app so I could monitor website stats and other details more easily. However, their website is well-designed, which helps make up for it. Another drawback is that you can't change a domain’s name servers without a paid plan.
Cloudflare - your defense against DDOS
Comments: I only can say that this is the easiest solution to prevent your site by geting down by DDOS atacks.
Pros:
It works very automaticly, you dont have to be an expert to use it. But if you need so you awlays can define yur own rules for firewall.
Cons:
My TFB was lowered by 0.5s its prety much, specialy if you want to have hight rank in google speed tests.
Definitely didn’t enjoy it at all
Comments: Not good at all I wouldn’t use it again that’s for sure
Pros:
Easy to use, easy to navigate, very simple
Cons:
Couldn’t find certain apps because cloudfare wouldn’t allow it
Solid platform for website performance and security
Comments: Cloudflare has been a reliable tool for boosting website performance and ensuring security. It has helped reduce page load times significantly, and the added protection from DDoS attacks gives peace of mind. However, there is a bit of a learning curve for new users.
Pros:
Cloudflare provides excellent security features like DDoS protection and SSL certificates at an affordable price. The CDN is also fantastic for improving load times and reducing server strain, especially for high-traffic websites.
Cons:
The dashboard could be more user-friendly for beginners, and sometimes there are too many advanced settings that can be confusing. Additionally, the free plan is limited when it comes to some of the more advanced features.

Go to tool for WAF
Pros:
I like the granularity of Cloudflare Web application firewall to add specific rules to block certain characters, payloads, event listeners, html tags, etc. I used it to create labs on web vulnerabilities topics.
Cons:
Sometimes it took more than expected time for mapping the domain with WAF atleast for me.

Cloudflare...has lost its luster
Comments: Cloudflare has evolved from a simple tool to guarantee 24/7 availability and quick response time. When I compared it to QUIC.cloud and LiteSpeed, I found it did not perform as well.
Pros:
Cloudflare provides a number of features that are important/essential for small business websites (DNS management, caching, SSL, etc.)
Cons:
Overly complex and increasingly expensive without achieving optimal performance and 24/7 guarantees.
A great layer of protection with varying price plans
Pros:
I like that CloudFlare offers very quick and easy protection with its free nameservers and DNS capabilities. It is a great way of adding protection and additional features to your website or network by simply changing your nameservers and receiving free features such as SSL, a firewall, page rules and more. It has offered a great amount of protection even on its free plan and its feature continue to be useful to this very date throughout the 10+ years I have used them.
Cons:
I am not fond of the constant changes to the older features, whilst the newer ones do take a bit of getting used to, it is a little cumbersome when you are trying to perform a simple change that you now have to do differently. The support can also be slightly hit-or-miss as they try to make you increase your plan to receive faster or better support.

There are no cons, from the free plan to Enterprise it offers some nice features.

Security will always be your aim here
Comments: My overall experience was really satisfying
Pros:
I’m using cloudflare for 2 years now in using the DNS services to secure my computer and my network in general it’s like using a VPN without using a VPN which helped me to access lots of stuff that wasn’t available in my country of residence. The app has lots of uses for cybersecurity, computer security, network security etc and it’s really good and reliable
Cons:
It sometimes bugs or freezes but it’s hard to find an app with all these combined features in one place
One tool to secure your several web sites
