William MabotjaWe used this site to secure a client's site and it did the job. The site passed the Pen Tests and more. Great security solution.Clare DeaneI currently use Cloudflare to protect my website and I have found it to be great. Set up was really easy and everything was explained clearly. I had no problems connecting to my website and I haven't had any problems with it since. It's doing the job that I need it to do and I can just get on with managing my website. It's an amazing service considering I'm on the free version.Foivos OikonomouCloudflare is, hands down, one of the best CDN services out there!Their free plan is good enough for most of the sites out there. However, if you buy a subscription they offer a lot more features with a very low monthly cost.Their free CDN service is a great solution for website optimization & firewall and honestly every website should use it. If you throw in a subscription you will offered more website optimization and image compression options. They also offer a Wordpress plugin with auto-optimization features.Honestly, I can't think of a reason as to why someone wouldn't recommend their services.David GWhere do I start.... I have been with CloudFlare for a couple of years now. I am mainly using their DNS and CDN services. I like that I can protect my account with 2-factor authentication, it's super userful these days. DNS service is propagating fast. Well, it's quicker than anything I have used until now. CDN is making my sites to load extremely fast. Good job CloudFlare, I will defo stay with you as a Customer. Maybe they are a little slow on replying to support tickets but I was on their Free plan so I am not complaining at all.Gabriela BazanHaven't worked with cloudflare in a while, but they were pretty easy to use once you get your bearings. They have great security features and seemed to be ahead of the curve on that one, but we don't have a ranking system for that in here, so I thought I'd add that. They're a little expensive, but the speed and reliability makes up for that. I cannot speak to support as I did not work with them at all (definitely due to the reliability)Berroney Campbell Jr.Cloudflare is maybe the only service I have come across that offer free service and is actually free. Even though they have this free feature security level is still high. Speed is by far one of the best and their interface is user friendly. if your even paying for a plan its affordable.Aieshah ShahMy first experience comes when we hosted Saas solution with Cloudflare. Their interface is very technical but easy to understand. if you have a SaaS or any Web application this is the best place to host on it. They provided us with the SSL for SaaS, DDoS protection as well as web application firewall. Their price is reasonable as compared to other Web/SaaS application solution providers and speed is worthyKate SeamanI love that Cloudflare has a really great free hosting plan for small sites like personal blogs or hobbies or small start-ups trying the service out. It includes a shared SSL certificate and what's great is there's no limitation on bandwidth or site visitors. They make it really easy to upgrade services and their website and dashboard is intuitive and easy to navigate. You can also use Cloudflare's optimizer for sites hosted elsewhere by moving just the DNS record to Cloudflare (changing the nameservers). This is also free, but you need to be comfortable working with DNS records directly to do this otherwise you may break your website. If you have problems with Cloudflare hosting services, you can submit a ticket, and response times can vary, but they eventually get to you.Tom SmithCloudflare is awesome and I use the free version of it on all my sites. It provides great security and increased speeds and I love how it integrated with most hosting providers so all you need to do is click enable and your done. Another thing I love about cloudflare is that you can use it to force SSL and hide your personal information.Soubhik ChakrabartiI will tell you this- I LOVE CLOUDFLARE! Each of their product is well through out. My only crib is that the pro plans sound a bit expensive. I have Sucuri for firewall and that costs me around $15 a month, compared to $20 for Cloudflare. But Sucuri doesn't have as good CDN's. Plus, did you know that Cloudflare Domain Registrar has no markup? My .com domains renew at just $8 a year now! Very pleased with them so far.Erjon TafaWhen you provide many services for a website, such as hosting, security etc., you need to provide excellent and timely support. Sending tickets and waiting for an answer, communicating only via email, is frustrating and extremelyunproductive. Clients must have access to 24 hour phone and chat support (as you are meant to be international) so that if there is ever an issue, it can be resolved ASAP. My site was down for an entire day, and I couldnt get the support I needed because of the slow ticketing system. You can make that only for Pro accounts but I was interested in testing out the service before purchasing which I would've done if it accomplished what I needed. But without proper support its a real no go.Aaron FernandesCloudflare are a generally "free" service with some extra "Pro" features that come at a price - which are definitely worth it. They provide security, speed, and reliability service for websites hosted elsewhere - so be aware that they don't exactly provide hosting services but act as a "Content Delivery Network" to optimize your site's speed and security. I have noticed significant improvements when routing my sites through Cloudflare as their interface is extremely easy to use and understand. Their security services are also very good and provide good protection from DDOS, bot attacks, and more. Their speed features are also good and can be turned on and turned off at any time. Be aware however that some of the features which they release "in beta" should be used with caution. In my experience they can sometimes break how a site loads and cause other issues e.g. their Rocket Loader service. Overall I would recommend routing your site(s) through Cloudflare for speed and security; as you will definitely find an improvement in speed. They do however have limited support which in my experience is difficult to get in touch with.
