I had a positive view on Cloudflare until recently. I started using it for my project about 3 months ago. I was impressed by the available features and even started planning to spend more in the future (I have only been on the free plan).
You can set-up a lot of things and even have a load-balancer. I was also impressed by the smooth and easy onboarding process.
Unfortunately, after starting to use it I realized that my site was extremely slow for everything that is not cached. Cloudflare was adding 250ms of latency to every request to my server. I certainly did not expect that much.
When you try to send a support ticket, they aggressively try to make you not do it. My support ticket did not receive an answer for 2 months.
I stopped using it last week and will certainly not look back.
