Hi everyone,
I am to log in and then choose ‘add domain’ in the menu above. It’s not visible. Anyone any tips on how to get there anyway?
Thanks

What is not visible? Can you post a screenshot?
I stand corrected, I now (?) do see the link ‘add a domain’, but it doesn’t work…
And what does not work? A slightly better description might be useful
Yes, sorry, I was going under in all this new info
This is what I see:
So basically I cannot find ‘add’….
You just said it worked.
Also, that’s the support documentation, not the actual site.
You can add a site at https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/add-site.
Thank you! I was just running around like an idiot in the support documentation, but I fell for all the links
No worries, my pleasure .
Wow, I apparently had already done this when I created my Cloudflare account but I didn’t think I had because my site is still slow and a checkers website advised to add a CDN (all this is new to me so I realise my stumbling does not mean there is anything wrong other then with my understanding)
@sandro if you still feel like helping, I’d greatly appreciate it. Yesterday I was a complete rookie, today I know 0,5%. I get the impression my website now works through a CDN, that is: when I check it, it seems okay. But whenever I check performance (through a third party) it keeps coming back: ‘use a CDN!’ I made this screen shot. I believe I am missing something but I’m at a loss…
Does it load fine? If it does, ignore that fearmongering. Sites loaded fine before anyone even knew what CDN could possibly mean. So it’s really not a must for every site to have a CDN.
That being said, those performance checks are not smart enough to determine that your site is actually already on Cloudflare. On the other hand Cloudflare is not really a CDN either but rather a geographically distributed caching reverse proxy setup. Similar to a CDN, but still not a CDN.
And yes, I know Cloudflare advertises with CDN → advertises → marketing
@sandro Thank you! Yes it does load fine and I’m not embarrassed when I compare the performance with a lot of other sites (that do the same thing I do, so get the same kind of visitors). It’s just ambition on my part, I guess (want it to be the best ) I also found this one (print screen), so I really don’t know, or maybe like you say, because it’s not technically a CDN it’s not read as such…
As I said, you can ignore that. Technically they are right that your domain is not a “CDN” but your site is on Cloudflare which is more or less the equivalent.
On a completely different subject check your encryption mode on Cloudflare, that should be “Full Strict”. If it isn’t change that.
