CloudFlare
#4
Honestly recently i have not had any issues here with it.
Well the last few days anyway. But every now and again it comes up still.
I just find it to be a bandaid fix of sorts. Sure it claims to be good against things beyond spammers.
But i wonder. If a site was not being spammed then would they still run this?
Never personally used it on my sites. Never needed to so cant judge any more than from the user level.
And at the user level it stinks of smelly smelly stuff.


Additionally i think some people should check this site out.

First link i checked regarding reviews of the product.
Not a great review i have to say honestly.
To summerise what the above link says...
Quote:My conclusion

I stopped using CloudFlare after I observed degraded performance. Degraded performance is a huge setback for a service that claims to improve performance by 60%.

They are still a new service and I wish them good luck in the future. It could be I was unlucky and I will definitely try them out again if others report an observable performance gain by using them.

Currently thought, I think it's too much marketing speak, too many unknowns and too few real results. Like an old quote says:

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
