Cloudflare Setup · London
Cloudflare Setup in London
Configuring Cloudflare properly for London businesses, rather than pointing the domain at it and assuming that is the job done. The default settings are deliberately conservative — most of the protection, caching and performance benefit only arrives once the rules are set for your particular site.
Why this comes up
The problem
Cloudflare gets switched on and left at defaults, so the business believes it is protected and accelerated while almost nothing is actually being cached or blocked.
What you get
What we deliver
- DNS migrated with every record verified against the previous provider before switching
- Cache rules per path, so assets cache hard and transactional pages never do
- Firewall rules tuned to your traffic, blocking automated abuse without catching customers
- Rate limiting on login and form endpoints, which is where credential attacks land
- SSL mode set to full strict rather than flexible, which is a common and quiet misconfiguration
- Page rules and redirects consolidated, replacing whatever accumulated at the origin

Working in London
London
London clients usually come to us because they want senior people actually on their project rather than a large agency's B team, and because Midlands rates buy considerably more delivery per pound.
Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates.

Cloudflare Setup in London — common questions
- We already use Cloudflare. Is there anything to do?
- Usually a great deal. The most frequent findings are SSL left on flexible mode, no meaningful cache rules, and the firewall untouched at defaults. Being on Cloudflare and being configured on Cloudflare are different states.
- What is wrong with flexible SSL?
- It encrypts between the visitor and Cloudflare but not between Cloudflare and your server, so traffic crosses the internet unencrypted while the padlock suggests otherwise. Full strict is the correct setting, and it requires a valid certificate on the origin.
- Will the firewall block real customers?
- Badly tuned rules will, which is why they go in monitoring mode first and get reviewed against real traffic before enforcing. Blocking a paying customer is worse than letting a bot through.
- Is the free plan enough?
- For many businesses, yes — and we will say so rather than pushing an upgrade. Paid tiers earn their cost for image optimisation, advanced firewall rules and dedicated attack protection, not as a general default.
- Do you work with businesses across Greater London?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout London, including London and the surrounding Greater London area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of London businesses do you usually work with?
- Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Professional Services, Technology, Media, Hospitality and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around London?
- Yes — we work throughout London, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Brighton. London is an urban area of roughly 9,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Greater London region rather than the city boundary alone.
