    Not a sponsored post lol, just surprised how many small sites still don’t use it.

    Free plan gives you:
    – CDN and caching for static assets
    – Free SSL
    – Basic bot protection (helps a lot with xmlrpc / login brute force on WP)
    – DNS that’s fast and easy to manage

    Just be careful with cache rules on WooCommerce (don’t cache cart/checkout).

    Also their “Under Attack” mode saved one of my sites during a bot flood. Just remember to turn it off after or you’ll hurt conversions.

    And block xmlrpc.php with a WAF rule if you don’t use it. On one WordPress site it was the majority of all requests before we blocked it.
