Cloudflare is a service (content-provider) that allows speeding up of the work of the Magento online shop. It helps to protect your store from the threat of a variety of harmful bots, blocking them before they \u201chit\u201d the server (it has Built-in Security).

How Cloudflare Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a website works through CloudFlare, its traffic is redirected through the intelligent global service network where the delivery time is optimized so the visitors can quickly get to the desired web page.

As you can see, the static data from Cloudflare websites are cached in the global service network. In other words, the static data gets cashed when the users visit the website, so they don\u2019t interact directly with the server where the site is located. It allows the user to save server bandwidth, protect it from different types of bots and attacks, as well as increase the website performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
