Cloudflare speeds up and protects millions of websites, APIs, SaaS services, and other properties connected to the Internet.
Workfence caters to businesses across multiple industries.
I like that the website’s performance is improved with reguards to the speed with Cloudflare’s CND. The speed of the websiteis increased with the optimizating feature like Brotli compression for SSL.
Cloudflare was slowing down my websites, causing conflicts and the typical "Error 502 - Bad gateway" error. When I stopped using Cloudflare, I never had this issue anymore.
Cloudflare provides our websites for CDN, DDOS security and SSL for free. Its very helpful for our websites reach globally with good speed and secure.
Setting up DNS servers can be difficult and backtracking from a mistake can be very time-consuming unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Overall experience with cloudflare is amazing because it provides so much useful things in their both free & paid membership.
My last, very frustrating experience has ruined the positive experience of previous years. I had to move the site back to the original hosting losing a significant amount of time.
Great set of tools from a reliable and world leading company, with a great community and a full range of documentation.
Also every now and then my site looks odd. I clear the cache on site and browser and it still looks odd.
Very positive, the staff are helpful and supportive and wordfence has helped me to protect numerous sites over the years.
But when I try, it fails. For this step there are several hosting server settings to try if the first setting fails, and you have to wait a couple days after each try to see if it worked.
It had a very generous free tier which is important for a small business. There was a lot of features that to be honest were worth paying for.
Now I have to start over once again to document it so that I can open a support ticket if all the options fail.
I like the Firewall and scanner the best. Also, the integration with Wordfence Central is a brilliant feature to help centralise everything for agency/multi-site owners.
I had to wait 4 weeks before learning about any major threats as I was not a paid member.
I recommend it since it offers peace of mind knowing the site has at least some protection. Even if it is the free version, I feel much better having it on there doing its thing.
Sometimes I struggle to locate the pages I am looking for when interrogating IP addresses and monitoring traffic to the site.
Karambir: Hi, my name's Karambir. I'm the CEO of a small company. It's just me actually, and I give CloudFlare a four. I found out about CloudFlare. I don't remember exactly how, but it was either through email or internet search, just about this product that was helpful for managing websites, and handling caching, and 24/7 availability, that kind of thing. I chose CloudFlare because it was free. At the time it seemed to be the only product. It was something I could easily create an account for, and it met the basic needs of a small website, which is just making sure it's available all the time, and reasonably good caching and throughput. It was fairly easy to get started with. CloudFlare, you have to switch over your DNA name servers, so it requires some technical experience, but otherwise, it was fairly easy to get set up. Okay, so if you're considering getting CloudFlare, consider it's really designed for higher end websites, with a lot of users, maybe multiple servers spread around the globe. For a smaller organization or just like a one-off website, it may be more complex than you really need. So it depends on the size of your organization, how much traffic, how much web traffic you have.
