No, but mediatemple offers it.. I was thinking about doing it.

you’ll notice a big diff in page load speed bra

nahhh yo, that shit makes my website go down

No, Varnish is faster/better than cloudflare at least on the sites I tried it on. Cloudflare is probably much easier to set up though

cloudflare has a pretty good arsenal of third party apps thats easy to install on ur server for debugging/analytics type services better than anything i have ever seen.

Varnish and cloudflare are two completely different things.

cloudflare sucks was stopping alot fo people buying my shit, took it off and it was amazing in sales a day. I also suggest you optimize the server you are on cause max cdn is faster cloudflare’s cdn and its dns is slow as shit.

our company uses it for our deployments. It blankets about 50+ servers in multiple 3 tier deployments.

No complaints but we have had to disable it once (I forgot the exact issue…someone was having trouble connecting something).

You clearly had done something wrong then. I’m one of the first people to use CF. Never had any major issues.

Just decided to check it out. Their website too forever to load.

They’re both simply reverse proxy caches.

Cloudflare is just Nginx configured as a reverse proxy to cache static content, using anycasted geoIP DNS to point users to a particular server when they’re located in a particular area.

I don’t think I’d use Cloudflare on a commercial site because I’ve noticed too many intermittent/difficult to diagnose issues when I used it in the past.

actually their west coast servers were getting DoS attacked last week so that would explain their suckage. now its all good.

i cant see cloudflare doing anything but helping your site load faster. especially if you got a lot of images on your site.

We offer it to our customers, but it’s shit for the most part. They get attacked weekly which will take down your site at random parts of the world. I realize it’s a free product and all, but I rather not have the speed increase sometimes then have my complete website down often.

its not that bad brew

It’s not that it’s that bad, but it’s the unpredictability and the fact that it takes so much out of your hands when something goes wrong with their system. You may not even find out there is a problem in one particular POP until it’s too late or at all…

It’s a great idea, but by focussing so hard on growth they’re damaging their product.

ok well i see your point ifyou’re getting like 100k a day but less than that its a good solution for $30 bux0rz a monthz0rz

i have pingdom and monthly stats say it was up 99.45% last month.

that’s some shocking uptime stats

so 25 minutes downtime per month is enough reason for you to never use a service that will speed up the load time of your website by double digit percent

99.45% uptime in a month works out to about 3 1/2 hours of downtime. Did you mean 99.945%? That’s obviously fine for most purposes.
