"Speed Up Website and Serve Static Resources Externally"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is secure and one of the best options to serve your static resources externally. I recommend and use Cloudflare to host images and more such that my client's website load faster. I'm using Cloudflare for more than couple of years and yes it's secure and safe to deliver your files from another server than your website hosted server.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

I found the price of Cloudflare a bit higher than others, overall this is not anything to dislike, I suggest 2-3 options to and ost of them end up with Google Cloud, maybe trust and brand name, but I personally like it.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudflare's server helps me to host my images and static files. Hosting files on Cloudflare helped to increase my website's speed and security.

"Easy to use and set up"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

It super easy to set up. I use bootstrap Studio and it had a step by step guide. It shows you the country where the website was visited and all this other information.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Most of the features cost money to use like Email domains and firewalls. I wished it would show you more stats.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to use wix but that was more challenging to set up. I get https for free and it tell me all the stats for my website like traffic.

"Excellent content delivery network"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

We implemented Cloudflare 3 years ago as our CDN and DNS provider. Till today we haven't noticed any downtime anymore on our websites. The network is very fast and has a lot of bandwidth in case of a ddos attack. We use the caching mechanism to speed up the websites. I like the analytics overview where you can see how many bandwidth is saved and attacks blocked.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Setting up caching caused some conflicts with our Wordpress caching plugin. But there's enough documentation to set things up in the right way.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudflare has saved us lots of bandwidth on our metered webserver.

"All-in-one solution for your DNS / Load Balancing / DDOS / SSL etc.."
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is currently the best solution in the whole industry when it comes to managing your domain & various services associated with it. Cloudflare provides so many features out of the box for nearly no cost at all. Starting from DNS which not only simple to use but very fast when it comes to updates for your various records. Cloudflare provides a free SSL certificate for communication between your browsers & clients hence making a part of your connection secure again for free. There are so many other features that I can go all day like their workers to manipulate/perform operation on incoming request, cache handling, firewall, custom apps from its marketplace & lots of other features which is why cloudflare is currently the market leader.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

The biggest drawback with cloudflare is that in its free tier you have no control over the actual caching of your content. We found it more than often that cloudflare don't cache our resources & even when it does it clear it very frequently (although I set the cache timing to be like many days). Unless & until you upgrade to their paid plans you have little to no control over the caching of your content.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had earlier moved most of our domains to Cloudflare basically because of great DNS response time but mostly used it for its Content Delivery Network. We used it for one of our test products at that time to cache the images on Cloudflare edge so the response time can decrease leading to good user conversion.

"The best CDN and DNS manager"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

I like how vast the network is. They offer a free plan with a lot of features, including free SSL and DNS manager.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

There is nothing which I would dislike since everything they offer works fine.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is fulfilling my CDN and DNS management needs. It saves a lot of time with easy to use interface and fast DNS updates. All of it comes for free. Then there is SSL option for your site. You can use SSL for free on every domain no matter if your host supports it or not.

"CloudFlare: Free SSL, Managed DNS & Optimal DDOS Protection"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

I loved the fact that it enabled instant SSL protections and HTTPS rewrite. The option to upgrade to a dedicated SSL for just $5 is also amazing. Best of all, the analytics panel, which enabled us at the company to monitor visits and generate reports.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

One disadvantage is that their RailGun features is only available in enterprise package. This is far to expensive ($+5000 monthly!)

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

CloudFlare enabled us to have a secured online platform, fast connection speed to the platform and optimal reporting.
