All the websites I setup have Cloudflare.
I love Cloudflare. The team, the pace of the new features, the clarity of the offer. They are the very best.
I have nothing to add. I just love them!

When we needed to get SSL quickly, Cloudflare helped with that transition quickly. On top of that they have DDOS, cache, and a bunch of site optimization features that help with the speed of the website.
No real qualms about it. You do have to point your nameservers to their custom ones, but that's not too difficult.

I was a bit hesitant at first, but quickly learned the setup was quick and easy and Cloudflare takes care of all the details and work.
This is a great low cost and hassle free way to implement SSL on your site without the costs of SSL certificates. Plus you get the advantage of having most of your pages cached on their server. Setup was easy and my only regret was that I didn't implement the software earlier.
none that I can think of. My only regret is that I didn't begin using them earlier.

With Cloudflare you can set a lot of advanced performance options that usually take a very long time to set up on a server. Users don't have to change anything since it's all DNS-based, and performance is increased drastically by their global CDN. It offers great protection against ddos attacks, speeds up load time and keep cached version of pages for when they're down.
It is a product that will mostly be appreciated by the IT staff, so that convens to the management of a company that it is necessary to use this software can be a bit difficult. In this sense, I see that the help offered by Cloudflare when it comes to explaining its product and making it easier for the No-IT user to understand could improve a bit. In this way it would be easier to incorporate it into organizations where many people must make decisions.

Cloudflare helps me run DNS for multiple website with ease.
Cloudflare works so much better than any other DNS provider. It also enables https out of the box without purchasing a certificate, which is amazing.
The interface can use iconography instead of worded descriptions, which makes some functionality hard to use.

I use Cloudflare's free plan and it is amazing! It helped boost my website loading speeds throughout the globe as it has servers located in almost every region.
Would like to see some pro features implemented to their free plans to a certain degree.

Overall very much satisfactory due to its reliability and stability.
Cache and uptime is great plus security. Records of DNS management and SSL certification is really good.
A bit difficult to understand for non techie person. Plans should be more elaborative.

Good at caching files and render over the cloud so that contents are delivered faster thereby improving the traffic and GA metrics for the websites.
Content delivery speed is enhanced, users can navigate to the websites easily and malicious attacks/spamware is comparatively reduced
DNS configuration took time at the initial setup, could have been better documented rather than having to rely on customer support.

Security is very much priority. CDN and DDoS Protection is most i like it. now a days every website is on Cloudflare network.
As they had launched 1.1.1.1 service but google chrome extension is needed.

I realized that there are great options out there instead of paying the astronomical prices to your service provider.
I had tried to add HTTPS encryption to several sites prior and it never took. I ended up paying hundreds to my web server to do it for me. I thought that was it! I made a small website for a friend and he was getting the dreaded "Unsafe" popup from the browser. I was so happy that I found Cloudflare and was able to easily installer the security on the site.
I have not yet found any cons and hope to use more of Cloudflare's services in the new future.

It has always solved my problem, I only use this tool to create a secure protocol for my web sites.
in a few minutes I have an active SSL protocol.
sometimes I need to install plugins to force the protocol to work properly.

Cloudflare is a no brainer and can be a game changer. It's DNS is one of the most robust in the industry and its interface is incredibly easy to use. It's caching functionality is unlike anything out there and it can serve a cached version of your website if your live host temporarily goes down.

Cloudflare rocks with so manyamazing features which I have been unable to find on the internet so far and the fact that they provide free services as well is cherry on cake. I just hope everything stays like this and improvements keep on coming. Thank for the amazing services!

Analytics, caching, DDoS protection and DNS management. You couldn't ask for more for a free tool! It optimizes our speed and security. The only thing that would be nice to have is a better targeted cache clearing system (they offer something better on the paid plan).

LOVE how convenient it is to set it up. Packed with value without costing a cent.
It is very easy to setup SSL for our domains, while getting CDN capabilities that enhances the speed for our sites for totally free.
It does it’s job really well so I personally do not have any complaints against it - especially since many of the features are for free.

Nichts gewonnen.
Die kostenlose Testversion ist das beste.
Zum Beispiel, dass der Namensserver plötzlich falsch war und meine Rankings in der Google Suche komplett gefallen sind. So etwas geht gar nicht. Dafür gibt es keine Entschuldigung. Der Schaden ist enorm.

I'm using Cloudflare DNS service for my web app and it has decreased my site's DNS resolution time significantly. Mostly resolves in less than 20ms.
Got set-up in minutes. Copied most of my DNS records automatically from my previous DNS server. DNS resolution is really fast. Protection from DDoS attacks.
The starter plan is a bit too expensive for indie makers.

Great CDN, hase some basic DDoS protection and caching.
The best feature is that it has a lot of the base CDN features easily accesible as soon as you configure your account.
The promise for the DDoS protection was not up to par with our expectation when we configured this service and we had to contact the customer support to get it sorted.

You can protect your website and hide your whois informations. Website is speeded up with Cloudflare.
Lower plans of Cloudflare is not good. Plan prices is a bit expensive. Customer support for Free tier is not enough.

Use this for a CDN on web projects to help improve the overall site speed, works perfectly
Can be quite pricey for larger websites that require more storage, also requires knowledge on how to implement a CDN
