At Idzyns.com, we are committed to providing our clients with top-notch hosting solutions. That’s why we offer Cloudways hosting integrated with Cloudflare Enterprise, a powerful combination designed to supercharge your website’s performance and security. In this blog, we’ll explore the various Cloudflare Enterprise features and how you can leverage them to meet your specific needs.
Unlocking Cloudflare Enterprise Features
With Cloudflare Enterprise integrated into your Cloudways hosting, you have access to a suite of advanced features designed to optimize and protect your website. Here’s a comprehensive list of what you can control and how it benefits your site:
Early Hints
Boost your page loading speed with Early Hints. This feature automatically caches “preload” and “preconnect” link headers and sends them to the browser as “early hints,” significantly reducing load times.
Image Optimization
Optimize your images with Cloudflare Polish. This feature offers two modes of compression:
- Lossless: Reduces file sizes for GIF, PNG, and JPEG images by removing non-essential data, like headers and metadata, while maintaining visual quality.
- Lossy: Further compresses JPEG images, allowing for some reduction in visual quality for smaller file sizes.
- Off: Disables image optimization entirely if preferred.
Mobile Optimization
Enhance mobile performance with Cloudflare’s Mirage. This feature detects the visitor’s browser type and optimizes image loading by using virtualized and lazy-loaded images, ensuring fast loading times even on slower mobile connections.
Minification
Improve your website’s performance with minification. This feature removes unnecessary characters, such as whitespace, from HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files, reducing file sizes by up to 20% without affecting functionality.
ScrapeShield
Protect your website against email address harvesting with ScrapeShield. This feature automatically displays blurred email addresses to bots and spammers, safeguarding your contact information without affecting human visitors.
Caching
Control caching for static content like images, HTML, and JavaScript at Cloudflare’s edge servers. Disabling caching means Cloudflare will continue proxying traffic to your server, but all content requests will be served by your server, potentially increasing load and impacting performance.
Edge Page Caching
Enable Edge Page Caching to cache dynamic content and serve your entire website from Cloudflare’s edge network. This optimization reduces the time to first byte (TTFB) and ensures fast, consistent website performance. Note that enabling this feature will automatically disable Varnish Page Caching to prevent conflicts. This is only available for WordPress and WooCommerce applications using the Cloudways New Interface.
Under Attack Mode
Activate Under Attack Mode during a Layer 7 DDoS attack to implement extra security measures. This feature makes your website accessible only to validated users while blocking suspicious traffic, ensuring your site remains functional during an attack. Verified bots like GoogleBot and Bingbot will still be able to crawl your site unaffected.
