Cloudflare has become much more than a CDN. Today it offers performance optimizations, security features, caching options, protocol settings, AI controls, and dozens of toggles that can be difficult to evaluate.
When I migrated my personal website to Cloudflare Workers, I decided to review every setting from scratch instead of relying on defaults. The result is a documented configuration explaining which options I enable, which I leave disabled, and the reasoning behind each decision.
In this article you'll find:
- Performance settings worth enabling.
- Security features that make sense for a personal website.
- Which options I intentionally leave disabled.
- Links to the official Cloudflare documentation for every recommendation.
If you're hosting a static site, portfolio, or blog on Cloudflare, I hope this saves you some time.
I'd also love to hear how others configure Cloudflare. Are there any settings you strongly disagree with or think are often overlooked?
