Cloudflare is an enterprise-class security proxy that sits in front of 26m websites, protecting them from known security attacks. It manages DNS (globally distributed), WAF (OWASP top 10 and more), CDN (also globally distributed) and Caching (does all sorts of magic to accelerate the delivery of content to modern browsers, does a whole lot of javascript polish so you don’t have to)
