Website Slow, Going Down, and Wide Open to Attack?
The ebook Cloudflare for Website Owners shows you how to raise the shield that makes your website secure, fast, and reliable, mostly on Cloudflare's free plan.
How Long Until the Bots Find Yours?
*explained step by step with dashboard screenshots, no security background needed
We know the feeling. Your website is finally live, then out of nowhere forms drown in spam, pages crawl, or the whole site goes down at the worst moment. Most owners find out after the damage is done: the attackers are automated scripts scanning millions of sites every day, and they do not skip the small ones. The same shield large companies use to absorb those attacks is something you can set up yourself.
Summarized from Cloudflare's official DDoS Threat Reports, figures rounded. 2025 more than doubled 2024, up 121% year over year. The red bar is next year: no data yet, and nobody knows how high it goes.
How Bad Is It Out There?

Ebook FAQ
What exactly do I get for $50?
The complete PDF ebook, 22 chapters in 6 parts, on securing, speeding up, and keeping your website reliable with Cloudflare, in your inbox the moment you pay.
I'm not a technical person. Can I follow it?
Yes. The ebook is written for website owners, and every concept and setting is explained from the ground up with dashboard screenshots. If you can log in to your domain or hosting dashboard, you have all the background you need.
Does my website need to be live already?
Yes, the guide works best for a website that is already up and running, on any platform. The early chapters walk you through connecting your website to Cloudflare from zero, so it's fine if you have never used Cloudflare before.
Do I need a paid Cloudflare plan?
Most of the setup in this ebook works on Cloudflare's free plan. A few advanced features such as load balancing and Waiting Room are paid, and the book always flags clearly which features are free, which are paid, and what the alternatives are.
How do I order and pay?
Tap the green button and you'll land on our secure checkout, powered by Polar. Pay with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The moment the payment completes, the ebook is delivered to your email automatically.
What format is the ebook delivered in?
A high-quality PDF that reads comfortably on both laptop and phone. Right after payment you receive a download link by email, and you can re-download the file anytime from your Polar purchase library.
My website runs on WordPress. Is the guide relevant?
Very. Cloudflare sits in front of your website, so everything in the book applies to any platform. On top of that, there is a dedicated case-study chapter on securing WordPress end to end.
My website has never been attacked. Do I still need this?
That is actually the best time to set up protection. Most attacks are run by automated scripts that scan websites in bulk without choosing targets, and recovering a compromised website costs far more than preventing the breach.
Will Cloudflare make my website slower?
The opposite. Cloudflare keeps copies of your content in hundreds of cities worldwide (a CDN), so visitors are served from the nearest location and the load on your server drops. The ebook has a dedicated section on caching and edge performance optimization.
