Why use the Cloudflare app?

Every website needs additional features such as growing your email list, sharing content, and accepting payments. The traditional way to accomplish this is to install a plugin or extension on your server.

These additional plugins/extensions add a few bytes to the page and likely include additional CSS and JS files, which increases HTTP requests. Remember that you should always update when a new version is available.

Therefore, overall page size, HTTP requests, and maintenance responsibilities increase.
