Cloudflare Setup, Security & Support

We configure Cloudflare® security to help protect business websites and applications from unwanted traffic. Managed WAF rules, custom rules, bot controls and rate limiting can reduce harmful requests reaching your application while keeping legitimate customers connected.

Our work includes onboarding, DNS configuration and migration, firewall setup and origin protection. We select and test controls around the application and the features available on your Cloudflare plan.

• DNS records and migration planning
• Managed and custom WAF rules
• Bot mitigation and rate limiting
• Origin server protection

Security settings need to work with the website they protect. We investigate blocked customers, failed integrations and configuration faults, then test changes against forms, accounts, checkout and other important journeys.

SSL/TLS and caching are part of that review. We check certificates, redirects and origin connections, and configure caching around the difference between public content and dynamic pages such as baskets or customer accounts.

• Legitimate visitors blocked by security rules
• Payment callbacks or APIs returning 403 errors
• SSL certificate problems and redirect loops
• Dynamic pages being cached incorrectly
• Excessive bot or automated traffic
• Origin servers remaining directly accessible
• DNS migration and configuration problems

We configure Cloudflare Tunnel and Zero Trust access for suitable staff and private applications. Identity requirements, administrator access and recovery arrangements are planned alongside the service being protected.

The right setup depends on the customer plan, hosting environment and application configuration. We explain the available options and agree implementation and ongoing support responsibilities. Cloudflare protection complements application patching, server security and sound access management; it does not replace them.

Bring us a new setup or an existing configuration that needs attention. We review the settings, agree the changes and test the website and its integrations afterwards, giving you a clear record of the work.

For ongoing support, we agree who manages accounts, how changes are reviewed and which alerts or problems we investigate. You work directly with the people responsible for the configuration.

We design websites, develop business software and provide hosting, maintenance and technical support. Based in Clifton near Shefford, we work with businesses across Bedfordshire, neighbouring Hertfordshire and the UK.
