Right, Cloudflare isn’t able to do anything to reduce application server load. As a single page javascript app, Discourse really doesn’t benefit.

It gets worse though, because putting Discourse behind Cloudflare adds network hops for every requests between the app in browser and server, so there’s a slight increase in response times.

Are you keeping uploads on the server, or using S3/an s3-like alternative?
