What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?
Cloudflare, the primary purpose for which it is used is domain management. Simply pressing the target button on the management screen, only for the hosts you want to accelerate with CDN, is effectively achieved. Also, at the beginning of the introduction, it is configured on the safe side to prevent caching on the HTML side, so security issues are unlikely to occur, mainly if you are operating a CE site. It helps our websites to be faster for users anywhere in the world. If a user uses our website from another country, the page loads faster because the user is accessing the page from a Cloudflare server.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Cloudflare's global CDN network helps keep Internet security in our company. Assisting websites to become more secure, faster, and less prone to cyber-attacks. It can be implemented quickly and easily, making our environment easy to set up and use. It has unique features that allow us to achieve security and speed in managing company domains. In addition to caching, we can also set up protection against SSL, WAF and DDoS attacks to get solid security. The Analytics feature allows us to understand each file format's access and caching status so that it can be easily understood.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There's nothing, in particular, that I'd like to see improved, but it looks like there was a scaling bug a few weeks ago, so I'd like you to be careful.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If your company site is slow, you should try it for now and see what a difference implementing such a powerful platform makes. I was concerned about the transfer amount because I was expecting a temporary access concentration when I published a site with many images. Even so, it could be demonstrated that it reduces the transfer amount and speeds up the display using CloudFlare, positively influencing customers' responses when browsing. Cloudflare has many other benefits in addition to the ones I have listed. For example, Cloudflare protects websites against cyber attacks.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product

What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?
Cloudflare stands out from other similar products because it offers a comprehensive suite of services that are designed to help businesses protect and improve their online presence. This includes a global network of data centers, a powerful web application firewall, DDoS protection, and advanced caching and performance optimization.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Cloudflare Has Some Mega Servers Which Cache Your Static Assets For You, Once They Have Been Requested Once. This Has A Huge Benefit Of Saving Your Server Load And Bandwidth. With A Non-cloudflare’d Server, If A User Requests A Web Page Which Features 10 Images, The Browser Has To Make 10 Additional Requests To Your Server.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Honestly, the errors you are describing are related to the management of the service. Cloudflare is not a managed service unless you are an enterprise consumer.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Cloudflare CDN helps to load my website faster and securable in all countries which helps my visitors stay connected. I can also analyze my website's traffic, performance and security.
