What is CloudFlare?

[EfficientNinja]

Hello Webmasters!

I am always seeing CloudFlare checks whenever I visit websites. It seems like almost all of the websites have it now. What does it really do for your website? Does it make it faster? Does it make it more secure because of those checks?

I would also like to know what it helps defend against.

Thanks!

you totally captured the whole essence of having a cloudflare network on a site and I think serious sites owners should have it installed to keep hackers and spammers especially spam comments away from their site even trolls would have a hard time trolling.

Yea,thanks I know most serious sites are aware of this and have installed it on their sites.I really dislikes DDOS attacks especially when launched by scammers and fraudsters on a site and I believe the site should still be up and cloud flare just help out.

The DDoS protection ensures that there are not a lot of connection requests coming from the same place. If there were, it would ignore them so that they didn't hinder the operation of the site. Thats the idea behind it at least. Having used cloudflare on a site before, it didn't necessarily always work as advertised

A CDN is a network of servers located around the world that deliver cached copies of websites from locations that are closest to the user. As the servers are closer to the user and the website copies are cached, websites load faster as a result. CDNs such as CloudFlare also help prevent against DDOS attacks. This is done by forcing suspicious visitors to enter a manual captcha before accessing the website. Thereby eliminating bots. This also means your server resources are not wasted on bots. To set up CloudFlare CDN in WordPress, you can use the official CloudFlare plugin.
