Benefits of Cloudflare

Maybe someone here is curious about the CDN (Content Delivery Network), i.e. Cloudflare

Why do many people use cloudflare and why not use CDN from default hosting, because I will explain why using Cloudflare is so good

Cloudflare will speed up access by storing caches from nearby countries. For example, I live in Indonesia and the cache of my Website is hosted on InfinityFree assuming I am in the US will be placed in Singapore to speed up access where visitors are located and this is very useful

Cloudflare can limit visitors, as my site also uses this because my site uses Indonesian, therefore I only allow some of the countries closest to me to be able to access and not allowed from visitors other than that country, for example if you access my site https://tasya.my.id, of course. then you cannot access it if your country is not near my country and you can access it if it is near my country

Cloudflare can reduce DDOS by verifying what browser is used and we can display Captcha when there are visitors so that it will increase the security of a site

Cloudflare also has a feature always online, so when we have a problem on the website and displays an error then visitors to a site will be asked if they want to use the website’s appearance before going down so it is useful

Cloudflare can protect you to hide the original and unknown DNS from where your hosting is coming from, so that if an attacker wants to attack our site using an IP address it will be rejected by Cloudflare and this also saves resources from bandwidth

Hopefully useful and if anyone knows more about the benefits of cloudflare, please comment below

Good tips. However, I personally think blocking your website in different countries is a bad idea.

I would instead use some JavaScript/API to check the person’s country, and perhaps display a message, but still let them access your website.

But cloudflare doesn’t work for sub domain hosted sites like mine. It looks sub domains are in sanctions xD.

I’d get my own .com domain another day. Do not suggest me another domain please :neutral_face:

Cloudflare is good for having a good and secure site by the way.
