Why Cloudflare?
For the security of your website and HiRaiser as a whole, we use Cloudflare to secure our systems. CloudFlare provides globally distributed and intelligent protection against sophisticated DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks. It prevents disruptions caused by bad traffic, while allowing good traffic through, keeping websites, applications and APIs highly available and performant. They also provide a CDN (content delivery network) that speeds up website loading for visitors, and significantly reduces bandwidth usage.
