It sits on the public internet, it runs software you did not write, and it is the first thing a customer sees. We put every client site behind Cloudflare’s global edge — which blocks the traffic that should never arrive, and makes the rest of it faster.
Very often a volumetric flood or a badly-behaved scraper exhausting your hosting plan’s resources. Absorbed at the edge, your origin never sees it — and it never becomes an outage.
Automated bots, not people. Bot management and a managed challenge stop them at the edge without putting a puzzle in front of real customers.
Where the site is hosted, what the DNS looks like now, and what else those records carry — email is the one people break.
Records replicated into Cloudflare and verified against the current zone before anything is switched, so mail flow and subdomains survive the cutover.
Nameservers delegated. Proxy enabled per record. SSL mode set correctly for your origin, which is where most self-serve setups go wrong and cause a redirect loop.
Firewall rules watched for a fortnight and adjusted, so a legitimate integration is never quietly blocked.
A firewall in front of an unpatched content management system buys you time, not safety. If your site runs WordPress, the plugins still need updating, the admin login still needs multi-factor authentication, and the backups still need to exist somewhere the site cannot reach.
We do that part too — managed updates, hardened logins and off-host backups — and we will tell you plainly if the honest answer is that the site is too old to defend and should be rebuilt.
We will look at your current setup and tell you what would change — including whether the free tier is genuinely enough for your traffic.
No obligation. We will tell you if you do not need us.
