What Is Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is a service provider that speeds up, protects, and stabilizes your website.
You can think of it as the invisible guardian angel of the internet.

It sits between your website and your visitors, delivering content faster while adding a strong security layer against potential attacks.

What Does Cloudflare Do?

1. Speeds Up Your Website (Thanks to CDN Support)

Cloudflare stores your content (images, CSS, JS, etc.) in its global data centers.
No matter where your visitors are located, they receive data from the nearest Cloudflare server.

This means:

• Faster page loading

• Lower ping

• Better user experience

2. Protects Your Website

Cloudflare automatically protects you against:

• DDoS attacks

• Malicious bots, spam, and suspicious traffic

• Threats blocked by its Web Application Firewall (WAF)

3. Provides Free SSL (HTTPS)

Cloudflare offers free SSL certificates, allowing your site to run over HTTPS.
This is extremely valuable for both SEO and security.

4. Offers DNS Management

Cloudflare is one of the fastest DNS providers in the world.
Your website loads noticeably faster thanks to its high-speed DNS network.
