Cloudflare Setup

Cloudflare setup connects your domain through a planned DNS change and configures the agreed SSL, CDN, caching, WAF, and traffic rules for the site.

What this service covers

A correct Cloudflare configuration starts with a complete DNS inventory and a clear understanding of the origin server, email records, dynamic routes, and third-party services. I reduce DNS TTL in advance when possible, document the current records, and prepare a rollback path before changing nameservers.

Depending on the package, I configure SSL mode, HTTPS redirects, cache rules, WAF policies, bot controls, rate limiting, and e-commerce exclusions. Dynamic, authenticated, cart, and checkout routes are kept out of cache unless the application has been designed for it. Changes are tested against agreed pages and user flows.

Performance gains depend on content type, visitor location, origin speed, and cache eligibility. Security features also vary by Cloudflare plan and do not replace origin hardening or application security. Cloudflare subscription charges and future plan changes are not included.

Frequently asked questions

Will Cloudflare make my site faster?

It can improve delivery when content is cacheable and visitors are far from the origin. I compare agreed pages before and after setup; the result still depends on the site, server, network, and Cloudflare plan.

Is Cloudflare free?

A free plan may cover basic DNS, CDN, and security needs. Advanced WAF, bot, rate-limiting, and support features can require a paid plan. Current Cloudflare charges belong to the client account.

Will the site go offline during setup?

A DNS inventory, lower TTL, staged checks, and a rollback plan reduce risk. DNS propagation and external provider behavior mean a zero-downtime guarantee is not responsible.
