About Cloudflare
Cloudflare Inc. is a web performance and security company on a mission to build a better Internet.
The free plan is great for small to medium-sized websites. It has all you need at no cost.
Also every now and then my site looks odd. I clear the cache on site and browser and it still looks odd.

Cloudflare is Invaluable!!
Comments: Cloudflare has been an invaluable tool to help reduce the attack profile of the websites I run.
Pros:
The fact that it hides the origin IP of websites, and allows page rules to direct traffic, even on the free plan.
Cons:
No problems with Cloudflare at all, always use it for my and customer's domains.
CloudFlare is a hero!
Comments: I migrated a lot of my clients to Cloudflare because of one reason or the other and they never disappointed me! One of my clients had a really bad Bot issue. The website would go down because a lot of bots would crawl and the bandwidth is taken up by the bots and real users would suffer. He would increase his resources to deal with the problem but when I moved it to Cloudflare, it was all taken care with just a few settings like a bit of magic. He saved a lot because he no longer had to increase the resources.
Pros:
It is the best in the market! After trying and testing various products, I can tell with confidence that CloudFlare is the best. The features, quality, pricing are all unmatched. Bot prevention and DDoS attack prevention is the best out there!
Cons:
I find the pricing a bit on the higher side but for the service they provide, I think it is worth the price considering that there is volume for your service.
When I needed to cancel service ....
Comments: Not so great. See reason for review above.
Pros:
It seemed to work, until I needed to cancel service and then the website was broken.
Cons:
When I needed to cancel service - well good luck with that. There's no obvious way to do it. They run you around. The website doesn't work right (links on the subscription page don't work, 404 error, etc). and it still says I'm going to be billed for another year. Finally I opened a ticket and then another ticket when I didn't get a response. Then I tried contacting them by phone, but they don't want to talk so the automated message told to me to open a support ticket. Chat is useless even if you pose as a sale. Still no human, as you get to fill out a form. So they really just do NOT want to hear from customers at all. And their support form has a million questions making it hard to reach them. For now, I have no recourse but to wait to see if my ticket is addressed, and if not, do a chargeback and fight with them at the banking level. I'm going to see if I can prevent the bank from allowing a charge from them, but the absurdity of feeling like I need to do that is ridiculous. I do not run my company this way. Complete opposite. We answer phones.

All-in-One Solution for your websites
Comments: I've had a really smooth experience with Cloudflare. In addition to domain registration, they offer many options to make your website safer, faster, and more efficient. It’s everything you could want in one platform.
Pros:
In my opinion, Cloudflare is the best domain registrar out there. You only pay the basic ICANN fee with no additional charges - at least that's what they claim. It's cheaper compared to competition either way.
Cons:
I wish they had a mobile app so I could monitor website stats and other details more easily. However, their website is well-designed, which helps make up for it. Another drawback is that you can't change a domain’s name servers without a paid plan.

An honest review by system engineer
Comments: Overall, Cloudflare delivers excellent security and performance enhancements, with its global CDN and DDoS protection being standout features. While there are some challenges with configuration and caching, the user-friendly interface and robust support make it a strong choice for most users.
Pros:
Cloudflare offers robust security features, improves website performance with its global CDN, provides reliable DDoS protection, and offers easy-to-use management tools.
Cons:
Cons of Cloudflare include potential service disruptions during configuration, occasional issues with caching, limited customization for advanced users, and dependency on their infrastructure for security and performance.
cloudfare review
Comments: I believe Cloudfare successfully created a unique product(s) at the time this company first commercialized its products. I suspect that is why it became an industry leader
Pros:
small footprint on local computers. I have confidence in this company as it seems to have knowledgeable staff
Cons:
no negative feedback at the current time
The best DNS management solution I have found
Comments: I use cloudflare in my business to manage the DNS for all of my domains. It makes the process really easy, allows me to manage all of the DNS entries from a central dashboard and I can easily allow access to individual domains for third parties when required.
Pros:
I love how easy it is to set up and manage DNS on cloudflare and also the amount of functionality including the creation of landing page templates and redirection rules. I also love the fact that I can easily provide access on a granular basis to third party vendors or clients using cloudflare permissions management.
Cons:
I can'th think of anything that I don't like about cloudflare.

DDos Protector
Pros:
It’s great for DDoS protection, has a global CDN, and gives free SSL certificates
Cons:
There’s a lot to figure out at the start. Some of the cooler advanced tools are only in the higher-paid plans
Definitely didn’t enjoy it at all
Comments: Not good at all I wouldn’t use it again that’s for sure
Pros:
Easy to use, easy to navigate, very simple
Cons:
Couldn’t find certain apps because cloudfare wouldn’t allow it

Secure Domain Registration & Management via CloudFlare
Comments: Overall, CloudFlare is a tools that is critical to the proper functioning at the company: managing our DNS records, securing connection to our websites and generating analytics reports.
Pros:
We've been using CloudFlare for more than 5 years and one of the recent features that I absolutely love is to be able to register and renew domain right within the CloudFlare dashboard. We no longer have to deal with the troubles of registering for domains at one location and managing the DNS / transferring to CloudFlare.
Cons:
Customer support takes longer for clients in the lower paid tiers. I believe that a great company should provide support within a reasonable time-frame to all customer tiers.

Cloudflare...has lost its luster
Comments: Cloudflare has evolved from a simple tool to guarantee 24/7 availability and quick response time. When I compared it to QUIC.cloud and LiteSpeed, I found it did not perform as well.
Pros:
Cloudflare provides a number of features that are important/essential for small business websites (DNS management, caching, SSL, etc.)
Cons:
Overly complex and increasingly expensive without achieving optimal performance and 24/7 guarantees.
Cloudflare

Cloudflare all over the world. Best network utility

Efficient and one of the best services on the world

Cloudflare up
Comments: Overall, my experience with cloudflare is good
Pros:
The pro about the cloudflare is that it serves as the buffer for different information that is connection in the server

The Cloudflare has redundancy with existing hosting features, as the network provider of the user has already provided it to them
Best web application and cloud security
Pros:
It has the multiple features for securing your application
Cons:
Nothing to like least about Cloudflare currently.
It promises security and performance.
Pros:
I had the chance to test cloudflare's contribution to performance under healthy conditions. I can say that it was legendary service. so that; You'll be surprised that it's free. Reduces page load time by at least half.
Cons:
The company must configure the Turnstile service properly. Otherwise, it will constantly issue a verification warning when connecting or exiting the site, which of course is not pleasant for normal users or customers.
Cloudflare

The loading up process was the most difficult

I don't have anything bad to say about Cloudflare
Confusing and hard to learn
Pros:
It was useful to store the extra data I needed for my online business
Cons:
It was so confusing, I didn't understand how to use it and the team that implemented it for me managed it so thankfully I didn't have to learn.
cloudflare gives enough security

You need to be a developer to use the email inbox functionality
