Cloudflare helps websites load faster, stay online, and stay protected from cyber threats. It works by directing traffic through its global network of servers, which speeds up loading times and blocks attacks from hackers, spam, and harmful bots. Think of it as a security and performance booster that keeps everything running smoothly in the background.

For website owners, this means less downtime, better protection, and a faster experience for visitors. Cloudflare also helps manage traffic efficiently, reduces strain on the website’s server, and improves search engine rankings. With features like automatic caching, security filters, and smart traffic routing, it makes running a website easier and more reliable.
