Get Off of Cloudflare

[Hazou]

Cloudflare isn't a very good server and it keeps crashing:

And for further proof, this is on another site that used Cloudflare and they had to move servers:

Cloudflare is an extremely buggy and not sophisticated server.

I tend to agree with Anger Level, a site for speeding up other websites can't be entirely at fault. Although the lack of Cache it seems to have is a little annoying, when a computer automatically has one. (Learnt this from clearing it for DragonFable bugs)

There isn't anything wrong with CloudFlare at all. It can't help spam, but it can help DDoS (it cannot touch the forum). It caches the website in case it crashes, and CloudFlare itself isn't crashing at all. Those are the times when YCM is overloaded and crashing. All of the errors shown are the fault of the website owners, not CloudFlare.

CloudFlare is even speeding up YCM a tad bit, but YCM itself is still way too overloaded at times.

You sir are very wrong. Cloudflare is not a good source to have, there are so many better hosting sites. Better than Cloudflare.

CloudFlare isn't even a source or host. It's helps speed up websites and makes a mirror of them appear if the original site is crashed. Whenever you go through [url="http://yugiohcardmaker.net/"]http://yugiohcardmaker.net/[/url], you connect through CloudFlare, [i]then[/i] YCM's host. This helps page-load times by a good deal, and can stop attacks on websites.

The cache on a computer and the CloudFlare cache are actually slightly different. Your computer cache's a website to reduce the amount of time it takes to load it. For example, it doesn't load the YCM logo every time, it caches it and runs it from cache, saving time. CloudFlare keeps a cache of the entire website and shows it to you to have redundancy [i]and[/i] page-load times. The only exception, is that your computer won't notice changes in YCM's look until you clear your cache, while CloudFlare does it automatically.

I'm pretty sure cloudflare isn't a server at all. I might be wrong though, IDK.

Thanks for the information. So it all comes back to the server overloading again, it's not as if the site is as busy as it used to be, so it makes no sense that it still struggles.

Cloudflare is a way of speeding up websites and reducing spam (well according to their website), it would probably be best if YCMaker stopped using a service that means all requests are routed it through it and are reducing the speed of the website, in some cases making it fail to load completely. We don't know what package he took out, I hope it is the free one not the $20 + a month ones.
