Please share CloudFlare experience
-
I'm a little nervous about moving to CloudFlare. I'd love to hear everyone's experience with CloudFlare or other CDNs.
PS My site is static and non SSL.
-
I'm going to add it to a really BIG site we are working on. I will keep you all posted.
-
Thanks. I am looking into putting Piwik on my server to have another source so I can compare with GA.
-
I don't think I answered your analytics question very well. Cloudflare is really not giving any useful stats. Just a graph of hits, crawlers, threats, and unique visitors. I still use ga for keyword and content data.
-
Very pleased so far, though I have no experience with any other CDN. GA reporting was not altered at all. It is interesting to see that cloudflare is reporting nearly twice as many visitors as GA. I guess there's a lot of folks blocking java script. It has cut requests and bandwidth to my server in half and blocked quite a few spammers and botnet zombies. I would certainly recommend.
-
How are you getting on? Still happy? What are the analytics like? Giving you anything you can't get from Google Analytics?
-
Page sppeed will only have a afect on rankings if your page is really slow. Matt cutts said it affects less than 1% iof pages
so going from a average speed to a fast speed will have no affect.
-
Update.
We installed cloudflare 10 days ago. Doesn't seem to be affecting our rankings. Seomoz's thursday update showsa slight improvment in most of my keywords this week. Probably unrelated. Our site is monstrously faster. Cloudflare also claims to have blocked 4% of my traffic as a known threat (likely spammers). From my short experience and the recommendation of my developer, I would have to give it a thumbs up.
-
I've also been looking into Cloudflare for a security plan. Also interested to here peoples experiences and if there is any SEO issues with using it.
-
I use Azure, Microsoft's cloud.
Its quite simple to use and quite cheap with a 3 month free trial. If you are a Microsoft Partner you get a lot for free and cheaper rates on the rest

Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or postively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please?
Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or positively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please? For example at the bottom of this blog post https://www.poppyandperle.com/post/face-painting-a-global-language the hashtags are linked, but they don't go to a page, they go to search results of all other blogs using that hashtag. Seems a bit of a strange approach to me.

Please help, (going bananaz) trying to trouble shoot sitemap submitted to Bing
We need help to figure out what seems to be an error in our sitemap.
Technical SEO | | IMSvintagephotos
We have submitted the sitemap to BING and the sitemap includes 1,2 million pages that should be crawled. After initial submission, Bing says in the dashboard that 1,2 million pages have been submitted. Then always after 2-4 days the number drops to either 500.000 pages or like now 250.000 pages. Why is that? is there an error in our sitemap and BING in excluding pages, and it lowers the submitted number after going through them and discovering the error ?. We need to figure this out and fix so that BING can crawl and index all our 1,2 million pages. See the screenshot showing the BING dashboard.
We are also having issues with google but we can't figure out what is going on. Here are the sitemaps: https://imsvintagephotos.com/google_sitemap/sitemap.xml and here: https://imsvintagephotos.com/sitemap.xml. Your website is www.imsvintagephotos.com qqp6gj0 -
Large Domain Authority Drop - Please Help
Hey there all, We are having the toughest time trying to figure out why our domain authority went from 12 to 3 with a search visibility score of literally zero. Back in Feb when the D.A.'s were all updated, we went down while all our competitors went up. We've been stuck at 3 for a few months and we can't understand why and aren't sure if we are dealing with a penalty of sorts. www.skycraftstudios.com is our site. We have a total of 60 some odd links in Search Console (some are garbage that we have disavowed, others are quality) but none of them are getting picked up in the newer MoZ index. We have added a few quality links lately, and even sped up our site quite a bit in conjunction with standard best practice optimizations, and even added an SSL cert, yet we stuck at a terrible D.A. of 3 and aren't even able to get into the top 10 pages of our main targeted term which seems incredibly odd to us. The site has been up for almost 2 years. Could this be simply a matter of not enough quality inbound links from the index? Any insight here would be appreciated.

Preserving Social Shares Through URL Changes
We are making significant URL changes to our website. Because the URL is changing the social sharing buttons are not showing previous shared counts. I have read several resources like the one below that is linked to in several other similar questions. http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2172926/How-to-Maintain-Social-Shares-After-a-Site-Migration However I would love to get some insight from someone who has done this and there thoughts on the outcome. As an ecommerce site the "Social Proof" of products that have received social shares is a big deal to us. In Mike Kings example above the counts are being attributed to the OLD URL which is problematic over time. Our site has been up for over 12 years and has had several major changes to it, and I am certain there will be more in the future, being able to preserve the count on the current URL is ideal. While I agree with him that over time I believe social platforms will let data pass through 301 redirects, until then I need to find the best way to do this. Also with his example and others I have seen people mention than new likes from the new url can reset the counter. If you have gone through this and have ideas pleas share them. I look forward to your thoughts thanks.

Does anyone have experience using Attracta with a Miva Merchant website?
I am looking for more information on Attracta, which is now a certified app for Plesk and Parallels Automation. You can apparently install Attracta for Parallels from the Apps Catalog.
