You want a fast webpage loading website, not only you as everyone wants a Spam free, fast loading site, and also want their visitors to get the content as fast as possible. No matter what type of hosting account you have, always you have to improve the speed of your site. But if you have shared hosting account then such type of issue frequently occurs.
There are various ways to improve the speed of your website. But today I want to show you very easy and absolutely free way to improve the speed of your website up to two times faster along with thread protection of your website.
CloudFlare- Its free and (paid for higher level) service that significantly increase the speed of WordPress website, site’s security and performance. According to cloudflare and of course my experience too it can speed up your website more than two times faster and greatly reduce comment spam and contact form spam.
Benefits of CloudFlare-
Free Caching/ CDN
CloudFlare will cache static content such as images, CSS, and other files on your site automatically and delivers content from the location closest to the visitor. It reduces loading time of your website and hence performance.
CloudFlare Security
Whenever a visitor comes to your website CloudFlare examine the behavior of your visitor to prevent spam and hacking. It will reduce comment spam in such a way that comment spam cannot reach your site anymore. It also gives you an option to allow or block an IP address which was caught spamming.
CloudFlare Cool Analytic
CloudFlare Gives you a fantastic website analytic. If you are already Using CloudFlare or will use you can observe a difference between Google aAnalytic and ClouFlare Analytic, it isjust because Google Analytics uses JavaScript to record the arrival of each user. If visitors have not Java installed in their browser or does not wait for page load, they are not recorded as having visited. But in case of floudFlare load each request more accurately.
Couple of issue may occur but don’t worry its not big one-
There are a couple of issues in case of using cloud flare, its not major issue. First Name server take some time to update(You know its usual case you should don’t mind). Second If you have installed an SSL on your site, CloudFlare will break it. If you want to continue to use an SSL on your site, you will need to upgrade to the Pro version. But for in general case bloggers do not install SSL so its not your issue.
BTW how cool these feature are you can observe after using it. I would like to recommend you to use CloudFlare, specially in case of shared hosting, It will boost up you blog and reduce your bandwidth uses upto 65%. Its easy to signup a news account for CloudFlare.
