Why you should say "No" to Cloudflare
Self-hosting
Self-hosting often works great, but it requires some effort to setup. It is more aimed at technical people.
We might create a guide for some self-hosting basics which don't require Cloudflare.

CDNJS
CDNJS is sponsored by Cloudflare. It might use it in the background.
Why X is not included
| X | Reason |
|---|---|
| Netlify | Uses Amazon AWS which is also a content delivery network. It would be hypocritical to include it. |
