i love that cloudflare has leveled the playing field. it gives small creators like me access to the same world-class infrastructure as the big guys. this is very empowering. it makes me proud of my website. it has given my small project a professional and trustworthy image. i feel like a real business.

What do you dislike most about this product?

the support for free users is only on the community forum. you can't talk to a real person quickly.
