Yes I am and I learned I have to wait at least 10 minutes after turning development mode on for it to actually work. But it's great for my overseas members because the site loads much faster for em and even loads faster for peeps stateside as well. I haven't heard any member complaints either so I guess I'll ignore the webpagetest.org results for now. It's also more accurate at tracking website statistics than whenever you install google analytics into your forum.

So if you have something you like to install like apture, vigilinks or google analytics, webmaster tools etc, best do it through CloudFlare.

Hey damon will CloudFlare consider adding Tynt?

Sorry about the delay in responding...I just got back from HostingCon.

Tynt seems like a fairly cool service. Have you recommended to Tynt that they should look at becoming an app partner?

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*

When did you try the service? We've made a ton of changes over the past few months that have made things much more stable than they were during our beta period last year.

"(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*"
The primary reason that we don't have an easy way to cancel is we don't want someone to take their site down by mistake. If we allowed people to easily delete a domain from CloudFlare, without the user first changing their nameservers back to their original registrar, it would cause major issues for the site owner.

We recently switched to cloudflare to mitigate a ddos attack and it worked great. Other than an increase in the speed of the website users have not even noticed it was there. It has been less than a week but in that time I am running with medium security and not having any problems.

What are your security settings? I think I have mine on low. Let me know what you have because I'm unsure which is the best settings without causing too many captcha problems.
