Supercharge your site

Few days ago I found a great online service, 100% useful for all site owners. They don't have any affiliate program or something similar, so I'm not affiliated with it nor connected in any way except that I started to use the service.

What it is all about?

CloudFlare protects and accelerates any website online. Once your website is a part of the CloudFlare community, its web traffic is routed through their intelligent global network. Cloudflare automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages so your visitors get the fastest page load times and best performance. 

They also block threats and limit abusive bots and crawlers from wasting your bandwidth and server resources. The result: CloudFlare-powered websites see a significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.

CloudFlare's system gets faster and smarter as our community of users grows larger.

CloudFlare can be used by anyone with a website and their own domain, regardless of your choice in platform. From start to finish, setup takes most website owners less than 5 minutes. Adding your website requires only a simple change to your domain's DNS settings. There is no hardware or software to install or maintain and you do not need to change any of your site's existing code. If you are ever unhappy you can turn CloudFlare off as easily as you turned it on. Their core service is free and they offer enhanced services for websites who need extra features like real time reporting or SSL.

In average, the most benefits are:

- the sites loads about 30% faster

- the sites uses 60% less bandwidth

- the sites has 65% fever requests

- the sites are more secure

I tested the service with my biggest site SharingSwarm  - curated content portal. I have it on shared hosting. Few months ago, when I started with aggresive advertising and when the site gets more than 100 visits daily - regarding to google analytics - the site becomes slow and unresponsive. (the time for the virtual private server!!!) But it will costs me more than site brings me from advertising - so this is not solution, yet. And I find Cloudflare! The first thing I notice (after one day and DNS change) was ping reduction from 42ms to 28ms! And site loads more smoothly than before.

This is enough for me. I recommend this great service to all website owners.
