Sounds odd doesn't it?

Being able to decrease your load time, save on avg 40% of your bandwidth and at the same time protect yourself against spammers, hackers and botnets? and for free?

Well - it's simple, some nerds in the US have all got together to develope something called cloud flare (link will follow shortly). This controls your DNS.

It's such a clever bit of software that I've used this on all 130 of my adsense sites and on average I save 40% of my normal bandwidth usage monthly plus I don't get any spammers on the blogs... and not to mention that my load time has gone from 1.3 seconds to 0.4 seconds!!

Check it out, it's amazing.

If you found this handy - please give some rep!

For my next topic I will be descussing Forex Trading.

Yeah it was a little slow to setup but I've used them for 6 weeks now and they are good.

Let me know what you think it would be good to hear what other people think of it.

the only problem is if there's a ddos attack directly attacking the server this will not help - but you can't have everything :D
 
Wow, this will hopefully stop leachers :D

But you being banned concerns me... was this spam? :)

Eitherway, I'm going to give it a try ;)
 
502 errors

"But sometimes I see 502 error!"

These are actually pretty rare and you should report them to us immediately. Do you have any of the beta features turned on (Minify, RocketScript)? I have seen a few cases where minify can cause a gateway error.
 
CloudFlare/speed

"Has anyone noticed any changes in the speed or anything else "

The average site sees a 30% boost in speed after joining. Keep in mind that the caching of the site will take at least a few days to really build out (note: things will also get faster when all of our new datacenters are online by the end of this month).

If you are new to CloudFlare, I also recommend checking out these CloudFlare tips to minimize areas of confusion and/or concern.

If any of you have questions about CloudFlare, please feel free to ask:)
 
Installed on one of my projects. Will see how it goes.

Does agressive caching conflict with forms on the site? Also which cities are you going to install in Europe?

Click to expand...

Aggressive caching *shouldn't* interfere with forms. If the forms are .php or .html, for example, we wouldn't touch them (CloudFlare caches these extension types).

We will have datacenters in the following EU locations soon:
Paris, London, Amsterdam (already active; upgrades coming), and Frankfurt.

I also wanted to highlight that CloudFlare is now available in W3TC (W3 Total Cache as well) for any of you that are using that plugin.
