Likelihood to Recommend

Cloudfare is great when you want and need to improve the security of your website, as well as accelerate it. In general, every website must have a higher level of protection that minimizes the exposure of the infrastructure to third parties, and thus, improve security, but also performance. There is no exception for not using Cloudflare since you can host the domain for free and benefit from a level of protection that is impossible to obtain from traditional hosting.
