Cloudflare is a powerful service that sits between your website and its visitors. It helps your site load faster, perform better in search results, and stay safe from online threats – all without changing how your website is built.

Make your website faster

A slow website can turn visitors away and hurt your position in search rankings. Cloudflare boosts speed and reliability by using its global network of data centres to deliver your content closer to where your users are.

• Content Delivery Network (CDN): Cloudflare’s CDN stores copies of your website content on servers around the world, so pages load more quickly no matter where someone visits from.

• Smart Caching: Regularly accessed pages and files are cached automatically, saving bandwidth and reducing the load on your web hosting. The Cache Reserve feature keeps this content available even if your server is offline.

• Website Optimisation: Cloudflare automatically compresses images, minifies code, and optimises how your site loads to improve page speed – which can also help your SEO performance.

With these tools running in the background, visitors enjoy a smoother, more reliable browsing experience, and search engines reward your site for its improved speed and stability.

Keep your website secure

Cloudflare’s security features protect your site from a wide range of online risks – from malicious bots and hackers to large-scale attacks that can take websites offline.

• DDoS Protection: Blocks Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that flood websites with traffic, ensuring your site stays online and accessible.

• Web Application Firewall (WAF): Monitors and filters incoming traffic to stop hacking attempts, malware, and suspicious activity before they reach your server.

• Bot Management: Detects and blocks harmful or fake traffic while allowing legitimate visitors and search engines through.

Together, these defences act like a digital shield around your website, keeping it protected while maintaining fast, uninterrupted access for genuine users.

In short: Cloudflare helps your website run faster, perform better, and stay secure, giving you peace of mind and a better experience for everyone who visits.
