Cloudflare consulting focused on what it actually solves for real sites: stopping malicious and bot traffic, hardening sites that cannot afford a breach, controlling cache with precision through Workers, and now making sites readable to AI. This is the Cloudflare work I do across banking, science, and high-traffic commercial clients.

Bot & Malicious Traffic Defense identifying and blocking automated and malicious traffic that inflates bandwidth and threatens the site.

WAF & Security Hardening firewall rules, rate limiting, and hardening for sites where a breach is a real business risk.

Cloudflare Workers custom edge code for finely tuned cache control and logic that the dashboard alone cannot express.

Performance & Bandwidth caching strategy and bandwidth reduction that speeds sites up and lowers cost at the same time.

AI Readiness the newer layer of Cloudflare work: serving Markdown to AI crawlers and the DNS and discovery records that make a site legible to agents.

DNS & Email Security DNS management, SSL, and SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MTA-STS done correctly.

Cloudflare Services

Cloudflare configured for the specific problem in front of it, not a checklist of features toggled on and hoped over. Each area below is work I do regularly for live client sites.

  • Bot & Threat Mitigation Bot management, WAF custom rules, rate limiting, and traffic analysis to separate real visitors from automated abuse.

  • Security Hardening Layered protection for high-value targets: managed rules, custom firewall logic, origin protection, and enumeration blocking.

  • Cloudflare Workers Edge code for precise cache control, request routing, header rewriting, redirects, and logic that has to run before the origin.

  • Caching & Performance Cache rules, tiered caching, APO where it fits, and the purge design that keeps content both fast and fresh.

  • Bandwidth Reduction Cutting origin load and bandwidth cost by moving the right traffic to the edge and turning away what should never reach the origin.

  • AI Readiness Markdown for Agents, agent-discovery records, and the DNS-level work that makes a site consumable by AI crawlers.

  • DNS & Email Authentication DNS records, SSL, and a correct SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MTA-STS setup to protect deliverability and prevent spoofing.

  • Diagnostics Reading Cloudflare analytics and logs to find what is actually happening, from cache-hit ratios to attack patterns.

Cloudflare Work I Have Done

The value of Cloudflare is in how it is configured for a specific problem, so here is the actual work rather than a feature list.

  • CPC Scientific Heavy bot and malicious traffic protection, bandwidth management and reduction, and security, speed, and performance optimization for a high-traffic commercial site.

  • Coastal1 Credit Union Hardened WordPress protection for Rhode Island's number one bank, where security is a regulatory and reputational necessity, not a nice-to-have.

  • Custom Cloudflare Workers Edge code used to finely tune cache control beyond what the dashboard exposes.

  • AI Readiness Markdown conversion for AI crawlers plus the DNS and discovery records added from working through the Cloudflare AI readiness assessment.
