    What is Cloud Flare?

    A friend of mine was bragging about having Cloud Flare for his site. Can someone explain what Cloud Flare does for a site and how it works?

    CloudFlare is a CDN that is different. You host your DNS with them and they protect your site from attacks like ddos but also automatically download your CSS, images and static files. They then put these files all around the world so everyone who accesses your site gets the content faster.

    Most times, Cloudflare is a good thing, except for right after a site update, when they're still showing a cached image of your site to visitors.

    CloudFlare is work as a proxy, Your main server IP will be hide or behind CF.

    Means your main IP will be hidden from public. CF free plan does not give any good or excellent security.
