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. IPFS may be worth consideration if performance is the main concern.

Alternatives

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.
Siteground Tor-hostile people.
Imperva Uses Cloudflare.
jsDelivr Uses Cloudflare, see their network page
Gitlab pages GitLab is now Cloudflared

History

Sucuri and eQualitie have a history of CloudFlare patronage, but no longer.
