Cloudflare

[Steven]

Hi all,

Due to never ending performance hits by spam and AI bots we're going to enable Cloudflare "live" this evening.
Original plan was to do this in conjunction with server move but it's probably better to move this forward.

So switching around 21:00 CET / 19:00 GMT.

Any feedback regarding performance / availability would be very welcome!

Great to hear, hopefully this will improve website loading. Today was again quite bad.

It's still pretty bad right now.
Nearly 100% CPU load, 1354 users (1322 guests) online.

Guess that's good to see the effect.
Will switch a bit earlier, gives me more time to evaluate before end of day.

So far so good from this side. Normal and responsive on PC and on iphone.

Seems fine down here

Switched and working, but more or less continuing issues.
Currently again very high CPU load due to bots.
