This stuff is amazing. I hooked up the free version of Cloudflare to my site at http://ColoradoProcessServers.net and look at these results!

One caveat though. I tried it on my sister's e-commerce site and it hosed the online ordering. It seems caching can screw up e-commerce sites if someone doesn't REALLY know what they're doing.

Why is everyone fixated on these things

Your google webmasters account has everything you need, and no third party trade off

I will put money on it, if you have added any script or code to your page for this to work, at a later date a search for your website will result in a google result advertising this product instead of the service you provide which you have worked so hard to promote.

Sorry but its not helping your website in any way if you add other peoples content and links to your website, once you have got a customer to your shop, keep them in it, dont give them any excuse to leave or look at something else that might be interesting, CUSTOMER LOST.

If you have not added any code, or link, or script I am probably wrong, but if you have i would get it off asap

I've added Analytics code and the +1 button, that's all from Google.

The Cloud does help in page load speed for customers around the world. What it does is takes your site and saves it on different servers around the world...

Without a Cloud when someone in London goes to your site they connect to your server that we will say is located in North Carolina.

With a Cloud when someone in London goes to your site, they will connect to the closest server to where your site is located.

The other benefit of having a cloud is that say your site server goes down... Your site does not... Because it is hosted on other servers around the world... So you have a 100% Up time...

SirAge :: as you seem to understand this and i never ever will, quite simply and just to shut me up ;)

Does it involve adding anything whatsoever to your personal website, link, html, code, whatever ?

Moreover as we know VSD code is MODIFIED html so is it truly compatible, could it cause errors ?

No, no code should be needed if you are using a good cloud service.

All, they are going to do, is scan your website and download it on one of their own servers that way it can never go down. :D

Also,

Let me point out, that clouds are not really that important if you are on a sound hosting. Really I would only suggest that you use it if you are hosting your own server, or have a crappy host...

HostGator was OK, but things REALLY speeded up with Cloudflare! :)
