Cloudflare: Performance and Security
Cloudflare is a global cloud platform that provides DNS services, Content Delivery Networks (CDN), and sophisticated security layers to protect and accelerate websites.
Cloudflare acts as a “Reverse Proxy.” Instead of users connecting directly to your origin server, they connect to Cloudflare’s global edge network. This allows Cloudflare to filter malicious traffic (DDoS protection), cache static content (CDN), and optimize delivery via the Argo Smart Routing protocol. It is also one of the fastest DNS providers globally.
Frequently Asked Questions
When the proxy is enabled, Cloudflare hides your origin server’s IP address and provides security and caching. If the cloud is gray, Cloudflare only provides DNS, and users connect directly to your server.
No. Cloudflare sits in front of your hosting. You still need an origin server (like AWS, DigitalOcean, or a managed host) to store your website files and database.
