they work as a DNS route for sites

[dr2015]

so if we use them= our sites load faster = more google traffic?

they are good for low traffic site mostly. if your traffic is heavy cloudflare is not going to be of much help!

I've tried it on a few websites and I actually found Cloudflare worked slower than what I was hoping for. I have good DNS servers for my websites and I think Cloudflare just adds better DNS resolution.

Not true at all. We have a number of larger traffic sites using us now (Metallica.com, for example).

Highly unusual for us to slow down a site because we have over twenty datacenters. Did you contact us for assistance? Some beta features may cause performance issues at times...but these are easy to turn off.

actually they steal our traffic as most hosts have 10% downtime and they relink those traffic to their own site right? the free plan

LOL it's amazing the shit people come up with when they have no clue. They do not steal your traffic. I just had a imgah member complain we never have counted any of the traffic he sent. Turns out he was not even a member. People say dumb things for no reason what-so-ever.

[dr2015]

you say people talk dumb, but ur talking dumb urself, do u not see the ?? symbol? its a question, not a fact i am saying

[Jesse]

Look at your grammar. You made a complete statement first. The "right?" would be for reassurance from the public about said statement made.

Looks as if we have ourselves a classic case of miscommunication here.
