        Make sure you have your website DONE. Their caching will often not update and a few times the cache wiped my site and wouldn't reload back to their servers.

        If I post to a wordpress blog it might not show the post for hours, a day or days to my surfers...

          Well, I think it depends on what you cache, really... but I remember screwing one of my sites (was not loading at all) by using cloudflare some time ago. I just decided to open itheir site and it looks totally different now. Has anything else actually changed?

                What cache level were you using? I would use the most basic one for a dynamic and frequently updated site.

                    So, I take it it is only good for static sites? :D

                      yes and there is an additional drawback you will have no stats....

                        Sounds like a mess I don't want to get involved with

                              Server logs are no stats? Besites, i think they had GA integrated.

                                  Forums sounds like requently updated sites. So it works for you? What caching do you use? Free account? Paid?
