About Cloudflare

Rik Huijzer in Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare if You Don't Need To:

I don't know how else to say it. Many people keep talking about the importance of a decentralized web, and then continue putting their site behind Cloudflare.

Keep your "stack" as simple as possible. If you've done that and added Cloudflare because of a specific need, that's fine. But, chances are, you don't need to hide your site behind a centralised choke point.
