But I am not like with its pricing which is expensive for individuals Pros Cache, website optimization and DNS management is very helpful for most website. Also, CloudFlare has static hosting for Jamstack website, listed Gatsby, Next or React on its host Cons Pricing and freemium, there's some restriction for users Review Source VR Verified Reviewer specialist Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It promises security and performance."

I can say that it was legendary service. so that; You'll be surprised that it's free. Reduces page load time by at least half. Cons The company must configure the Turnstile service properly.

Review Source Fabio D. web master Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affordable and feature-rich CDN" June 30, 2022 5.0 Pros The wide choice of features, and the quality of the basic free service Cons I have no negative notes to make about this services a this time Alternatives considered [AWS Lambda](https://www.capterra.com/p/211010/AWS-Lambda/) Reason for choosing Cloudflare For the cost Review Source Anders L. CTO Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare, security and performance deluxe" September 29, 2020 5.0 Cloudflare is many things. It gives us CDN functionality, reverse proxy, web application firewall and great flexibility when exposing applications over the internet. It boosts security to enterprise-grade with a very decent price model. Pros Easy to get started, offers a wide range of features for both security and performance for our applications. Works great with other cloud providers since Cloudflare is based on DNS. Cons There are some settings that can be a bit tricky to find and understand, but there is a great knowledgebase. Reason for choosing Cloudflare All other solutions would have made us use several products to achieve the same result. Using Cloudflare, we have one product that is fully integrated and overs a wide arrange of capabilities. Review Source Ricardo S. Web Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "the best CDN service for websites" June 4, 2022 5.0 I put all my client sites on cloudflare. They are faster, easier to clear caches, and much more secure. I think it's essential for all websites. Pros the cache service, which makes the website faster, the agility to change DNS records, access statistics and attack prevention. Cons some features are a little hidden, just to enhance the use of paid plans, but nothing that really makes it less interesting. Review Source NZ Nino Z. \- Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bewertung von Cloudflare" January 12, 2024 5.0 Pros Cloudflare hat viele coole Funktionen wie z.B. das veröffentlichen von Webseiten im lokalen Netzwerk ohne Portfreigabe, womit es alle auf der Welt sehen können.

Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great free way to make your site faster and safer" May 31, 2022 5.0 Overall had a great experience as it provides all necessary services at no cost. Pros Love that Cloudflare is providing so many features for free. The best feature being their DNS which is the fastest and their CDN Cons The only thing about Cloudflare is that it's very restrictive and doesn't encourage user to use Cloudflare with other tools, in other words it doesn't like users leaving its ecosystem. Switched from [CDN77](https://www.capterra.com/p/162026/CDN77/) They started to become expensive Review Source JH Jay H. Technical Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Massive gains with little effort or cost" May 5, 2020 5.0 Cloudflare can be categorized as an easy win. We have been using Cloudflare exclusively for almost all of our agency's clients for several years and cannot recommend them enough. It can be setup in under 30min and provide measurable results and improvements to a domain's performance and security immediately. \* More performant and cost effective than Google Cloud, or Amazon AWS offerings. \* Ranks #1 on DNSPerf.io \* Winner of Network World's "Managed DNS Shootout" The most consistent barrier to adoption for a client is usually the client's I.T. department with arguments along the lines of "GoDaddy's nameservers are good enough.", fears of a product they don't have personal experience with, or a fear of giving up total control of DNS. Pros \* Extremely easy to use \* Performant \* Extremely generous free tier \* Security \* UAC \* Effortless SSL \* Effortless CDN \* Overall better UX Cons \* Support is via a ticketing system and can be slow when you're utilizing their free plan.

Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An effective solution to keep your website secure and fast" February 12, 2021 5.0 I use Cloudflare to protect and cache all of the websites I ever made for my company or for our clients. Primarily we use it for caching, which sped up our websites by a factor of 10. We also use it to gather information on bandwidth usage, and to make sure we are protected from attacks we can always use it to put our websites in defensive modes. It is an amazing tool I would recommend to everyone working on websites who needs a good cache system. Pros The sheer number of features offered by Cloudflare is astonishing! Even if you use it primarily for the cache, it is still an amazing tool that gives a lot and asks for just a little. There are no websites that I run that are not on Cloudflare and I plan on keeping it that way. Cons The clean cache button is hidden in a tab while it should not be. It feels like it was put there just to encourage people to pay for the service as the first tab that opens is the one that offers a paid for service and contains only a sentence and a button. I hated when they did that and hope they soon fix it. It feels like a cheap cash grab and does not feel like it belongs to such a respectable and high-quality service. Review Source Aaron B. Network President & Founder Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great CDN with much more to offer" January 9, 2019 5.0 We use Cloudflare as a CDN, when we first set-up we ran into some errors, but support helped us create rules so the cache did not affect the admin panel of our site. Cloudflare helps us save on bandwidth and if our server goes down, delivers a cached version of our site to users. Pros Very easy to set-up and many web hosts offer a one click set-up through CPanel. Free Plan offers all websites need and upgrading to a paid plan is very easy. If you don't know what something is, their team gets back with you right away. Cons There is not much to dislike about Cloudflare, you can run into some problems when you first set-up if some rules are not set-up properly. They should offer plugins for CMS suites for flawless integration. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare is a must for anyone who has a website" February 10, 2021 5.0 We have been using Cloudflare for many years and will continue to use both the free and paid products offered by Cloudflare and its VPN service and free SSL. Pros Cloudflare is simply an amazing company with great products that keep all of our websites running smoothly. Before Cloudflare we was always struggling to keep our web servers online, now Cloudflare does all the heavy lifting for us. Cons I struggle to find anything negative about Cloudflare, but I do wish to learn more about using the Cloudflare products on our websites and in our business. Reason for choosing Cloudflare Cloudflare saved us from server downtime problems and continue to provide solutions to keep our websites online and secure. Review Source GT Ganga T. Owner Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best guard for our website from DDoS and cyber threads. " August 10, 2022 5.0 It helps us to speed up and optimize our website for better performance. The service is available in multiple data centers across the globe, so websites and apps can be served via the nearest location to a user. They have a range of plans available starting from free all the way to enterprise-level plans. I have both their free and paid plans and I can say that I've seen a huge boost in the performance of my site ever since I started using them. Pros Cloudflare is a simple app that helps us to protect our website from DDoS attacks, cyber-threads, and other malicious activities. Cons Cloudflare makes it easy to deliver web pages faster, safer, and smarter. Everything a website needs to load fast, stay fast, and secure its visitors from online threats.

Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Non existing customer support" January 8, 2020 5.0 I have used their services for many years and would recommend them to anyone with the patience to find out all the available and very useful services on their own. 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. Pros I have to admit, when it works, it is an amazing solution to load your website quicker and get better SEO scores. Cons Generally, no support exists. I have sent 10 emails begging them for help with one of my website which suddenly had an IP issue. The site was down and not a single response arrived. 10 emails in 10 days. The worst customer service experience ever. Review Source Amanda B. SEO CopyWriter Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Free SSL and Super fast Cloud Hosting!" May 18, 2022 5.0 Love the free SSL and the super high speed of cloud hosting. Pros Cloud hosting with Cloudflare is the cheaper option if you want to enjoy the benefits of cloud hosting without breaking the bank. Th offer super good site reports and offer you the speed and ease that comes with cloud hosting. Cons The dashboard can be techy and intimidating for beginners. You can;t install SSL Certificates on subdomains, unfortunately.

Alternatives considered [DigiCert SSL/PKI Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/178056/DigiCert-SSL-PKI-Solutions/) Review Source RR Rebecca R. Software Development Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent software to accelerate the response of our website" August 27, 2019 4.0 This software is really useful since thanks to it we can provide our audience with a website or applications that are always available, that is, no matter where you are entering, you can always enter the website quickly because the workload is distributed on several servers, also the entry will always be safe because Cloudflare also stops those attacks that may impair the performance of that site. Pros I like Cloudflare a lot because it is a software that helps to accelerate the responses given by websites or applications so that when a visitor enters the site they do not have to go through a slow process to access them, and this is because It gives us balanced loads so that it is not a single server that carries out the work but is distributed on several servers, in addition to providing fast websites it is also able to protect them against threats and bots so before these attacks come and this software has stopped them and the best thing is that it not only protects our website but also its visitors as it sends them alerts that let them know that they are entering from an already infected computer so the easiest way to to avoid that is that he asks that they carry out a captcha. Cons One of the drawbacks with this software is that when making changes to the website, such changes may take time to be reflected since this software saves the content in a static way. Review Source AF Andrew F. President & CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare is a “must have”" February 27, 2019 5.0 I’ve been using website caching providers for about 7 years now, and switched to Cloudflare about 4 years ago. I have not once looked back. For the money, CloudFlare is by far the best caching solution on the market. I use it on two websites, each with different needs, and am able to achieve very affordably what would have been a pretty expensive configuration a decade ago. The automation in CloudFlare makes it simple for anybody to use them. I have a technical background, but many of my clients don’t, and I’m able to walk them through getting set up and running with CloudFlare with very short order. I see myself being a CloudFlare customer for years to come. Pros The Cloudflare interface is intuitive and the software is extremely simple to use. The “set it and forget it” functionality is amazing, as it serves very much as an autonomous coaching solution once properly configured. Sure, you’ll need to tweak it from time to time as your website needs change, but that process is inviting and easy, even for people with less technical background. I also love the value that you get in even the lower-tiered price points. The DNS management is a huge bonus as well. Cons It’s hard to say something bad about Cloudflare, but if I had to play devil’s advocate, I’d say that there are maybe a few features in the higher tier packages that I’d like to see in the entry level plan. Most users won’t feel this way though, as my particular needs are a little more specific than most.

Diretor de tecnologia Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare é um serviço necessário a qualquer website" March 14, 2021 5.0 Atualmente utilizo o cloudflare em todos os sites próprios e também nos sites dos clientes do serviço de hospedagem de sites. Além de melhorar a segurança e a velocidade do acesso ao todos os sites também foi possível economizar no tráfego de cada site uma vez que o cloudflare faz cache da parte estática do conteúdo. Pros O cloudflare deixa os sites mais seguros a medida que atua como uma camada intermediária entre o usuário e o site, além de distribuir o conteúdo geograficamente utilizando CDN o que torna a acesso ao site mais rápido. As edições de registros DNS são instantâneas o que torna o serviço extremamente interessante mesmo no plano gratuito. Cons Disponibilizam somente dois servidores DNS para configuração do site, além disso todos os sites da mesma conta recebem os mesmos servidores DNS, seria interessante ter mais servidores DNS ou a opção de escolher quais servidores usar a fim de evitar que uma empresa com múltiplos domínios concentrem todos os sites nos mesmos servidores.
