Cloudflare DNS and CDN

Cloudflare setup is DNS, SSL, cache, and origin behavior together.

Cloudflare can improve DNS control, CDN delivery, SSL handling, and basic security, but only when records, proxy mode, SSL mode, redirects, email records, and origin configuration are handled deliberately.

Cloudflare DNS has high search demand because it is a common gateway between domains and hosting. The biggest setup mistakes happen when every record is changed without understanding which records are for web, email, verification, API, or origin access.

Official source note: Cloudflare documents how to create and manage DNS records, and also documents SSL/TLS encryption modes for origin configuration: Cloudflare DNS records and Cloudflare SSL modes.
