How can a Cloudflare Setup Help You?
Cloudflare offers some enormous servers that cache static assets, guaranteeing that the moment a user requests a website once, they will be able to retrieve it at no additional cost. Caching your static assets reduces your server load and bandwidth.Â
Â
When a user requests a web page with ten images, the browser must issue ten additional requests to your server. This is an additional ten megabytes that your server must process and deliver. Every user on your website creates more load and consumes precious resources that might jeopardise performance for other users. Cloudflare caches each image once it has been served once. When a second user requests the same image, Cloudflare delivers it from their servers, allowing your server more time to process transactions and send emails. Furthermore, many hands make light work.Â
Cloudflare offers a worldwide Content Delivery Network (CDN) in addition to asset caching. Cloudflare serves up assets from the nearest server, so your website loads rapidly all over the world, not just in the country in which your server is located. Because of this, your website loads rapidly all over the world and not just near the country in which your server resides.Â
Cloudflare offers defence against brute-force attacks and website threats in addition to caching and CDNs. Cloudflare serves over 12 million websites and is therefore better at identifying malicious bots and users than any operating system firewall. Cloudflare can present a test to ‘normal’ users if it thinks you are suspicious. Every day, your website becomes more secure and protected as firewall and security measures are continually evolving and being developed.
Cloudflare Images is a simple, efficient method to build and maintain your image infrastructure. Using a single, unified product, you can store, resize, and optimise images at scale.

As mentioned earlier, when a user requests a web page that has ten images, the browser must issue ten additional requests to your server. This is an additional 10 requests that your server must process and deliver. Every user on your website creates more load and consumes precious resources that might jeopardise performance for other users, no matter how strong your server is. Cloudflare caches each image once it has been served once. When a second user requests the same image, Cloudflare delivers it from their servers, allowing your server more time to process transactions and send emails.

Cloudflare enabled HTTP/2 for all of our users a long time ago, and it promised a swifter web. However, Prioritisation, one of HTTP/2’s characteristics, failed to live up to its promise. The reason was that browsers implemented it improperly. Because of this, Prioritisation was not as effective as it could have been. Today, Cloudflare are pushing out an HTTP/2 Prioritisation adjustment that allows their servers to prioritise web content in a way that truly speeds up the web.
Atomic has extensive experience in not only designed developing websites and apps but also in optimising these in accordance with Google’s strict guidelines with regards to speed & latency. We do this through a combination of Google PageSpeed Optimisations, GT Metrix Optimisations and also server side setup that include Cloudflare to ensure your digital estate is delivered at the quickest speeds possible to your targeted audiences around the world.Â
We begin by analysing your current setup, current Google PageSpeeds, SEO Metrics and server side setups whereby we will be looking at some very key metrics (TTFB, FCP, LCP etc). From there, we have an exploratory call to advise on what setup is best for your business and whether Cloudflare would be beneficial to you.Â
