Mastodon can stomp their webstite through cloudflare? Is this not a massive failure on clouddflare's part?
I have a low traffic news site; I wonder If I should share this link or would they prefer not to be troubled by the traffic.

- bastawhiz 2y agoIf you tell cloudflare not to cache anything you can hardly be surprised that cloudflare doesn't save you any traffic
- iainmerrick 2y agoCloudflare gives you the tools but you have to use them properly. If you don't allow caching, a CDN can't help you.
- paxys 2y agoThe funny thing is that Cloudflare works perfectly well with default out-of-the-box settings. You have to go in and actively sabotage your own site to make it as broken as this one is right now.

- kevincox 2y agoIt really doesn't work well by default. It won't cache HTML and it will serve up CAPTCHAs to subresources like JS and IMG that can't be completed by users as well as RSS feeds so that people can't subscribe. The defaults are really quite broken.
