Thank you very much John for the video review! Sorry it took us too long to get to it and provide feedback, but fortunately the speed increase we provide for our clients is nowhere close to as how long it took us to chat here :). Thanks for shining light in our security features as well, not only CDN, we're so much more than just a CDN. We'd love to talk more or answer any questions you might have, so feel free to ping us. We'd love to see a video of our new dashboard... :-)
I have used IT since 1985 men to use cloudflare has my biggest mistake. Clodflare has no support, no phone - but only a "community" ie neighbors and friends. Cloudflare is not a serious company.
@@JTSeneca depending on the plan you get with us, there is free support via tickets and also phone support. Can you please share more details of what support request you raised with us and was not answered properly? We'd love to know more and be able to help better.
it will slow your website down and they will get your useage data for free and get richer, it wont protect you from hackers either. It is a con. Have you never been to amazon or somewhere and seen a white page slowly bothering you saying 'wait as we are cecking your browser?' that is cloudflare slowing down time so you cant go to the website until they spied on your pc
I am preparing to use this soon in my Tech business when it is all set...so it is possible to use another domain registrar to host your website and at the same time use Cloudflare to run the CDN !
will you please make a video focusing only on adding DNS info. That is the only part I am struggling with right now. As I am reaching out to cloudflare for help as well. This is all amazing and I really like cloudflare and very happy with their services so far. You explain so well that I am very impressed. Thank you for being so direct and speaking so clearly
@@johncreates Took a while to get it to go through, there was a "bad record" that I had to look for in the CloudFlare configuration, but once that was remedied, it seems to be working. Hopefully will get some better performance. Thanks.
Thanks man, was actually contemplating about implementing cloudfare on my website, but your video shed more lights and help clear my doubts about clourfare. thanks a lot.
Thankyou an Outstanding Video Tutorial On Cloudflare..I have a better understanding i have siteground as my host.. and it comes with my plan..Business - Grow Big And Go Geek
WARP? Like... Hyperdrive from star wars? I think you first need to find a Chewie and a Millennium falcon... But honestly, I'm not familiar with that term.
Hi, I used the option to enable the Cloudflare on Bluehost for my website (created using WordPress), because I wanted to use Cloudflare to speed up my website globally. But later, I found the site was down with an SSL error. I had received a free SSL certificate with the Bluehost account and was using that for my site. I contacted Bluehost today about this and was told I can’t use Cloudflare CDN with the Bluehost-provided SSL. It's so weird for me, how they are saying that they are in a collaboration.
Normally that's one of 2 things. First is clear your cache and cookies and look at the site from a different device. If that doesn't fix it, you probably have "mixed content" on your site. Like some images that are being hosted from a non secure site. I'd run a gtmetrix,com test on the not secure page and look at waterfall to find the request that has insecure content
@@johncreates a generic I guess the hosting company provides it for free. But do I need to disable it first with the hosting company and then enable the one on cloudflare? I am just worried of downtime...
The way to think about it is that Bluehost is your home, and Cloudflare makes a ton of copies of it all over the world. You ever install one of those WiFi repeaters in your house to extend range? It's like that. Your main modem/router is Bluehost, and any repeaters you put around the house are like cloudflare copies :)
Not 100% true. You can ALWAYS change the name servers back to default at any time. Your Registrar is where your domain lives. All the DNS records get automatically imported into Cloudflare through the tutorial so your site, email and all that jazz should still work just fine :)
Thanks for this informative video. I am a nontech person, need a little help as I am confused. I purchased domain name from namecheap, hosting from hostinger...so if I shift to Cloudflare, I will not need the Hostinger anymore to host my website, or will I have to keep it and Cloudflare is just helping to make my website faster?
When should you purge cache? I just migrated my site to a new domain and now its super slow. I was wondering if Purging cloudflare cache will help me with the speed?
I like the integration between WP Rocket and Cloudflare. I have it set so that whenever a page / post is updated, it automatically clears both cache's. It's not free, but I think you can achieve similar results with free alternatives
Thanks for video. Wonder if you can explain this part: The company spells out one of the possible dangers here: 'Cloudflare’s default configuration only allows proxying of HTTP traffic and will break mail traffic.'
Great video, subbed. I have a dedicated server on bluehost. I see you're using bluehost as well. So i don't need to enter the NS1 and NS2 anywhere on bluehost for DNS entries? For the last test you ran, it still said run fewer http requests. I would think cloudflare would handle that. thanks.
Hi main man.. Tnx for this one. I have now my CLoudflare by following your procedure. Now Cloudflare has this Review Settings tab. When I went in it's telling me to change HTTP to HTTPS. Is this important? I already have SSL with Namecheap..
Thanks John for the great video. It helped a lot. Please answer if you have idea about if CDN affect the subdomain as well. For example if I have a domain abc.xyz and pqr.abc.xyz is my subdomain which redirects to a 3rd party service like thinkific, does setting abc.xyz in cloudflare affect the subdmain in any way ?
I am using NitroPack. The desktop speed is super good while the mobile speed is so terrible. Not sure if Cloudflare also does this trick for users to purchase.
I used hostinger for my hosting and godaddy for domain. Currently I hv my hostinger name servers on godaddy. If I replace it with cloudflare, will it still connect to my hosting? Confused here. Plz help
I don't get it. My hosting and domain are different companies. My domain needs to point to my hosting in nameservers right? If I delete them all and just put CDN links in there, how will my website and hosting communicate?
It's a great question and I didn't fully understand it at first either. Long story short their tons of little records inside of your domain (DNS records) that tell the internet what to do. For example you can have subdomains pointing to 1 host, email accounts pointing to gmail, and your main domain go through Cloudflare. Each one of those actions are controlled through specific DNS records, while your domain itself can only have a single Name Server. It gets geeky, but long story short - your hosting company is talking directly to Cloudflare through the setup process which configures the DNS records for you as needed.
Sure don't see why not - all this happens at the domain level, which you can think of as being "higher" than the actual website itself (wordpress blogger etc) - same rules should apply!
hello! need help pleaseee! TT i used a website very often, then all out of sudden it said that this website is custom by cloudflare or soemthing like that. i was annoyed and clicked block website. but now i cannot log into my website anymore. it only says ,,file not found,, help!!! i want to be avble to use my website again, but without that stupid coudflare!
I'd tell you what you can do with your magic server. Does your item give people who paid for VPN a giant screw you? This takes the VPN info and gives it to your Cloudflare does it not?
Hi John, thank you very much! exactly what I was looking for. I do have a question regarding cloudflare, since we activated the Pro service we have been experiencing the cart icon on the menu bar keeps spinning none stop, and other pages not just the homepage. for example here www.centralefillers.com/panier/ could you please be so kind and advice what could be causing the issue? no new plugins at all btw and tried disabling all plugins, cache flush ect,..
well I started the process and then filled my pants as I saw what changes it wanted to make. I then watched your video and feel a lot better about it :)
I’ve heard a legend about someone achieving such a task, but you’d probably discover mermaids and unicorns before finding a site in real life ;) I jest, sure it’s possible. Depends on what you do with the site
Sir, thanks a lot for your video, it really summarized everything, if I could do something more than the like and subscribe I would have simply did, thanks again. I have a question, where can I learn how to upgrade my website performance as much as possible, I mean there were many points which I saw from the GTMETRIX list which were empty or low, is there a tutorial on YouTUBE or Udemy for instance that you would recommend that would teach us how to boost our website to its most best performance?

Excellent content and presentation style, very clear and concise
Such a great explanation in words anyone can understand. Thank you!
Glad it helped you Sharon!
good stuff john. very useful summary of how and why you might use a CDN service such as CF.
Awesome and clear cut understanding of the topic
Thought it was going to be much more complicated. Trying this out now, good simple explanation, thank you.

Great video. Thank you!
I have a website with 2 URL one work ok as a secure website, but the other is not secure what should I do? Same website.
Normally that's one of 2 things. First is clear your cache and cookies and look at the site from a different device. If that doesn't fix it, you probably have "mixed content" on your site. Like some images that are being hosted from a non secure site.

Thanks for great info. How do I do this if I use a SSL?
Do you use a specific SSL or just a generic let's encrypt? The free version of cloudflare has a built in SSL if you don't have any specific needs
@@johncreates a generic I guess the hosting company provides it for free. But do I need to disable it first with the hosting company and then enable the one on cloudflare? I am just worried of downtime...
So Cloudflare is not a hosting server, your domain is still being host on Bluehost ?

It's like that. Your main modem/router is Bluehost, and any repeaters you put around the house are like cloudflare copies :)
@@johncreates But you will need to change the DNS, will it not affect the files on your hosting site?
I didn't get that if I change the name server in my Domain register company then my domain is noo connected to the Host! how should be working?

I mean I have hosting with hostinger. If I purchase 20$ option everymonth do I need hostinger ?
So, it can improve non-wordpress websites too! cool!
