Cloudflare ROI

Spencer Malmad - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at Tech Exchange

I have some clients whose sites don't do anything. It's like a virtual business card. For those sites, I give them the lowest common denominator of Cloudflare set up for that domain. The website is protected and much less likely to get hacked.

However, if I have a company that has online sales and sends out many newsletters, then they need to have a CDN. That way, if a thousand people get that email and click it at once, it will not kill their server. That's the value of having Cloudflare or something similar. It's different if a thousand people click on a server farm in one location. 

Even at AWS, you have to have this auto-scaling, and the configuration is significant. I would get paid thousands of dollars to set that up. That costs a fortune in monthly payments. I don't know of any of these different companies that host servers. I just put the website on Cloudflare, and they don't spend much money on my time. Maybe I should be smarter and push the AWS, so I get paid more.

Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance. 

Many regional e-commerce websites and information-based pan-India websites like WordPress. These sites were facing tech challenges, particularly with WordPress. It's one of the most popular content management systems, but it needs robust support because it's inherently vulnerable. 

WordPress security can be tricky, and that's where Cloudflare can be absolutely helpful for small businesses. They utilize its security features to combat those pesky DDoS attacks and other threats, significantly improving their website stability. It can be a pretty satisfying and decent experience.

This is difficult to calculate; however, improving the page loading speed always impacts the traffic on a site positively.

Less cost for domains and more satisfaction which is hard to put a dollar value to.

All my data was encrypted before the hackers got past two firewalls. Encrypting your data does not keep hackers from getting in. In that respect, Cloudflare has proved to be a huge benefit for us.

I first paid for the Business plan, which was 200$/month for the first month when I had those big issues with DDOS. Then I went to the 20$/month plan. In other words, I spent about 400$ more or less on the product. I have not had a DDOS attack, since, or at least not become unavailable due to DDOS which means my ROI is pretty good. I mean when your website is offline, you first lose money like daily revenue, around 400$ for us, but you also lose your customer loyalty, and there are many more issues. No matters what's going on (attacks or not) a website must be online at all time.

Having several sites that sell products, our primary concern is:

  • Content deliverability
  • High availability
  • Fast response times

Since CloudFlare provided a solution for all the above, which indirectly affects and improves our business, our ROI has greatly increased.
