WHAT IS CLOUDFLARE?
The initial purpose of Cloudflare was primarily for security. However, during a maintenance fixing session, the team in charge stumbled upon the ability for Cloudflare to increase the loading speed of other websites. This was quite a discovery and in fact, the first step towards their long journey to their present stage.
Cloudflare is a web performance company which enables websites to load faster with the help of their numerous, multi-located data centres, and also prevents harmful bots and crawlers from their invasion on sites. It is a Content Delivery Network (CDN), giving it the numerous advantages associated with all CDN networks. Due to the effectiveness of this network in the improvement of the performance and services of all sites, Cloudflare is unsurprisingly one of the biggest internet operating networks. In addition to the CDN services they provide, they also provide DDoS mitigation, Internet security services and domain-name server distribution.
With their security, they prevent SQL injection, identity theft and other harmful actions that can occur on a site. They will easily deny suspicious content, harmful bots, the unhealthy flow of traffic, and access to your site. With the use of this helpful network, you can control the traffic in and out of your site. You can tell when your site is being threatened. The uniqueness of Cloudflare is tied to the fact that it is not a hosting provider. Also, it has easy adaptability to the regular webmaster. This relieves you from the task of being a compulsory tech-savvy person before you can monitor your site traffic.
