Low wouldn't block too many visitors with a challenge page (we generally recommend Medium as a default, however).

Note: why visitors get challenged by CloudFlare.

Minor issue, it does not seem to be counting any stats at all.

It takes awhile Max. Wait a day or two. Their stats have been more reliable to me than Google Webmaster Tools and Analytics btw.

In your CloudFlare stats? I do need to advise that there is a 24-hour delay for stats for free accounts (24 hours from the time the actual nameserver switch happened).

Also: Very important to make sure that you have all of your zone records in your DNS settings. A common issue is that folks have a www subdomain missing in their DNS settings, so traffic could appear lower until that CNAME is added. You can check your DNS settings by going to: settings->DNS Settings on CloudFlare.

Thanks for the fast reply. No subdomains missing, the DNS settings are perfect.

I figured there would be a 24-48 hour delay on the stats. Not a biggie.

I tried Cloudflare for a week. After receiving feedback from our users and weighing the cons and pros it provides, we elected it wasn't for us.

Secondary problems were encountered when trying to cancel the service. Easy to sign up (easy to find buttons), but had a somewhat difficult time cancelling the service. (no buttons at the time to uninstall/cancel service.) Which led me searching through emails to find a point of contact, then waiting for a response, meanwhile my community was experiencing some residual hiccups from the service as I continued communications with a tech via emails over the next 36hrs to finalize cancellation.

To their defense, the service was in beta at the time. Perhaps the ability to simply cancel the service on the user's end has been added or at least somewhat streamlined by this time. (however I was under the impression this wasn't in their immediate lineup; making it easy for users to cancel isn't exactly good business sense right? *nudge - poke*
I don't understand this. To me it looks like cancelling CloudFlare is as easy as switching nameservers back the way they were before and reverting the one file edit. Am I missing something?

It actually is that easy. Or you an turn it off in the hosting provider cPanel if you activated that way (there are two ways to activate CloudFlare, direct or through an approved hosting partner).

It is a little more complex if someone did something strange (creating multiple accounts, changing nameservers via a hosting provider when they don't need to, etc.).

I had to stop using cloudflare on my main forum because it would make my pages unavailable often. It was very annoying. I got it working on another site but people rarely visit that one so it's all good.
