Does anyone use this for their high-traffic site?

www.cloudflare.com

chris_joseph · 07-28-2011, 09:10 AM

I have tested it on one of my site and guess what... more down times.

buildingfutures · 07-28-2011, 09:53 AM

Thanks Chris, I'm kinda scared of putting it on a big site. Got a feeling I'm asking for trouble.

Guess it ain't worth it

Its ok for small sites, but horrible for high traffic sites.

I have them on my big site it helps with page load but soon as its a rush in traffic it doesn't help that much they claim to be like a CDN but it cant handle a ton of traffic at once.

they dont actually host your site do they?

isnt it just cloud dns?

I use cloudflare on mainstream sites and love it. They were responsible for mitigating ddos attacks against lulzsec. I use it for spam prevention and it is pretty good for that. Page load times improved about 30%. Try it on a smaller site first and see what you think. Everyone I have sent to CloudFlare raves about them.

No, they are not a host you just change your dns to theirs. Very easy to setup, in fact they pretty much do it for you. You just have to click thru the setup and go to your registrar and add the new dns in. I have done it 6 times so far and each time I had zero down time when changing the dns.

Maxcdn for this type of shit... they are in the buy sell forum

the funny part is this... goes totaly against all the "seo pros" say out there. Since cloudflare proxies the traffic and caches it...

OH noes! The whole unique IP per site is a sham!
