Cloudflare offers several ways to optimize websites and improve their performance. Below are some methods to optimize web with Cloudflare:
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Utilize Cloudflare CDN to store and distribute website content across multiple servers globally. This reduces page load times and enhances user experience, especially for visitors in distant regions from the origin server.
Static Cache
Cloudflare allows you to store static files such as images, CSS and JS on their servers. This reduces page load times and eases the load on the origin server.
Image Optimization
Cloudflare provides automatic image optimization to reduce file sizes and improve page load speed.
Minify CSS/JS
Cloudflare offers automatic minification to remove unnecessary spaces and characters from CSS and JS code, reducing file sizes and speeding up page loading.
GZIP Compression
Cloudflare supports automatic GZIP compression for text-based files like CSS, JS, and HTML. This reduces file sizes and improves loading times.
Browser Cache
Cloudflare allows you to specify browser cache duration. This reduces server requests and enhances performance.
Railgun™
Railgun is a dynamic content acceleration technology that optimizes data transmission between the origin server and Cloudflare, improving overall performance.
Page Rules
Cloudflare lets you set up page rules to customize how it handles specific pages. You can enable/disable caching, optimizations, and other features for specific pages.
Optimizing web with Cloudflare improves page load speed, reduces server load, and enhances user experience.
