### Comment 1

Cloudflare has some mega servers which cache your static assets for you, once they have been requested once. This has a huge benefit of saving your server load and bandwidth. With a non-cloudflare’d server, if a user requests a web page which features 10 images, the browser has to make 10 additional requests to your server. If each image is 1mb, that would be an extra 10mb your server would have to find, process and serve. This, multiplied by each user on your website, is more load and takes up valuable resources which could impact performance for other users.

With Cloudflare, they do Asset Caching. Once each image has been served once, they store a copy on their servers. When the second user requests the same image, Cloudflare serves it up from their servers, meaning your server has more time to do the important things - like processing that transaction or sending that email. It also helps your website performance, as many hands make light work.
