I used Cloudflare for DNS and analytics. The DNS was super easy to set up and I connected it to Squarespace without any issues thanks to the tutorials on both websites.

There was a lot on one page. I had to skim through it all and it took me a while to figure it out.

“The Gold Standard of Web Application Firewalls

Pros

Cloudflare is easy to set up and customize and has great user management. It also gives solid insight into what is happening around you in the community.

“A great layer of protection with varying price plans

Pros

I like how Cloudflare offers quick protection with its free nameservers and DNS features. It is a great way to add security and other functions to your website or network just by switching nameservers. You also get free features like SSL a firewall page rules and more. Even the free plan has offered a ton of protection and the features have been useful for over 10 years.

Cons

I do not like the constant changes to old features. While the new ones are okay it can be annoying when trying to do something simple in a new way. Also support can be a bit hit and miss and they seem to push for plan upgrades to get better service.

What I liked most about Cloudflare was its strong security features like DDoS protection and SSL/TLS encryption which really boosted my website security. The global CDN sped up load times and the easy to use dashboard with detailed analytics made everything easy.

Cons

What I liked least about cloudflare was how tricky the advanced features were to set up. The basic setup is easy but some advanced settings are confusing and take time to learn. Also support can be slow which is annoying when you need help right away.

The great thing about Cloudflare is that it acts as a buffer for different data being exchanged on the server.

Cons

Cloudflare can overlap with features your hosting or network provider already gives you.

“Cloudflare is Invaluable!!

Pros

I like that Cloudflare hides the origin IP of websites and lets you control traffic using page rules even on the free plan.

Cons

I have never had any problems with Cloudflare. I always use it for my domains and my customers domains.

“Excellent tool with MANY different functions

Pros

Cloudflare offers a bunch of tools and services that are really easy to set up with detailed documentation. The pricing is awesome for what it does. A lot of the tools are free with generous limits. Once I started using it I could not imagine switching because it does so much and works so well that I do not need alternatives.

Cons

My only small issue is there are so many menus it is easy to get around but I sometimes get lost. They also change or add new services often so it can take a bit to find where an option is.

It has all the features you need to easily set up a Web Application Firewall. You can create custom rules to finetune security for your app.

Cons

Cloudflare can be pricey and hard to set up for small businesses.

Pros

I first came across Cloudflare around 10 years ago after our business website got hit by a major DDoS attack. After that our hosting company refused to keep our site so we had to switch providers. Our new host was happy to take us on and recommended Cloudflare as an extra layer of security and I have been using it ever since.

Cons

When using their Wordpress speedup features it is hard to know if they will clash with another speed-up plugin.

“Cloudflare all over the world. Best network utility

Pros

It gives you a safe and secure browsing experience.

Cons

The features cost more but really who would not pay extra for good website security?
