Once your website is a part of the CloudFlare community, its web traffic is routed through our intelligent global network. We automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages so your visitors get the fastest page load times and best performance. We also block threats and limit abusive bots and crawlers from wasting your bandwidth and server resources. The result: CloudFlare-powered websites see a significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In simple terms: CloudFlare is very cheap (even free) content delivery network (CDN). \u00a0It provides speed and security improvements, and it is extremely easy to configure. \u00a0I know so, because I&#8217;ve already registered for the free account and configured this site to benefit from the service. \u00a0Whether it actually lives up to all the hype &#8211; I don&#8217;t know yet, but I&#8217;ll see in the next few days. \u00a0I suspect it does, since there are <a href=\"http:\/\/developdaly.com\/web-design\/cloudflare-review-and-how-i-reduced-my-bounce-rate-94\/\">numerous<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bdtechie.com\/a-review-of-cloudflare-cdn-and-how-it-can-keep-your-site-always-online.html\">positive<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.slyspyder.com\/2011\/01\/08\/cloudflare-review-better-speed-security-better-bounce-rate-pageviews-free-cdn-content-delivery-network-hostgator\/\">reviews<\/a> around the web. \u00a0I will of course let you know. \u00a0Especially if you remind me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AaMWqyg_xMo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard a few mentions of CloudFlare before, but I never gave it much attention.
