Cloudflare Performance
Services boost up the conversion rate, reduces churn, and increases the
visitor experiences by stimulating the web and mobile performances while
keeping applications available. Cloudflare is DNS CDN provider.
If your website is
experiencing a DDoS attack, then Cloud flare could help you to hide your
original IP. Cloudflare may help to reduce, if you’re your website is
facing DDoS attack. But if the attack is harmful it may not be able to
handle.
Cloudflare is created to
secure your website from various types of malware activities such as:
•Web software
vulnerabilities
•SQL injections
•Spam comments
•Cross-site attacks
•Bruteforcing
You can secure your website
from severe DDoS attacks using below steps:
1.Enable it from your cPanel
-> Cloudflare tool
2. Click Manage next to the
entry for your domain name.
3.Select the Settings
tab
4. In the end, you have to change the value of Cloudflare Security Settings option to I'm Under Attack.
Now, when you enable I'm
under Attack, your website visitors will see a processing page for a few
seconds. The Cloudflare will verify and confirm whether the hit is coming from an
authorized visitor and not from a bot. After the Cloudflare is enabled, the website
may go to a redirect loop.
This may happen if you are
using SSL on your website.
To resolve this issue, you
must change SSL support for your website from 'Flexible' to 'Full Strict'. Generally, Cloudflare gets secure requests for your website & they will use another secure
request over HTTPS to fetch it from its host server.
You can further change the
SSL Support settings from your cPanel -> Cloudflare -> Settings tab. Once
you change the value, you need to allow a few minutes.
Following the above steps,
your website is now secured from harmful and vulnerable DDoS attacks.
