Are those drops in the Cloudflare radar chart normal? Are they accurate?

Isaac McFadyen•2/21/25, 2:49 PM

Given that's at 3AM I would expect so, yeah.

Isaac McFadyen•2/21/25, 2:49 PM

If you see the dotted line that's the previous week

Chaika•2/21/25, 2:49 PM

you can see the previous week trend line doesn't seem to deviate

Isaac McFadyen•2/21/25, 2:50 PM

So the fact that it lines up means it's expected

But the left one went from almost max to min :NotLikeThis:

Isaac McFadyen•2/21/25, 3:10 PM

I expect it just looks like that because:

There are a lot of users
Most of those users are in a few numbers of region/time zone, so at 3AM all those users aren't on the site.

I thought it was due to routing issues because I can't find any logic that the entire country traffic goes suddenly down more than a 60%

D5OP•2/21/25, 3:19 PM

Well, not routing issues but random potential blockings

Isaac McFadyen•2/21/25, 3:27 PM

Doubtful unless the routing issues occur at the same time every week consistently

Isaac McFadyen•2/21/25, 3:28 PM

Possible but unlikely.

D5OP•2/21/25, 3:29 PM

It's not happening all week I think

FFriday Candour Hello team, can I use total tsl for my deep sub domain structure for free?

Laudian•2/21/25, 11:45 PM

No, Total TLS is not free. It requires the Advanced Certificate Manager addon.

Change your DNS record to DNS-Only and use a free certificate on your server.

valkyrie_pilot•2/22/25, 2:37 AM

you need to provision a fly SSL cert for that to work

Hi, I know CF doesn't have any bandwidth limits on the free plan. But I was wondering if I should upgrade from Free to Pro as I have customers complaining there about slow bandwidth throughput. Is there a chance that the upgrade routes the traffic "better" or the traffic is being "prioritized" during rush hours if I upgrade to Pro?

chickahoona•2/22/25, 7:39 AM

I know network latency / routing / bandwidth problems are hard to troubleshoot. So I'd be happy if someone with some background knwoledge could give me an "educated guess" if the plan adjustment has any influence of Cloudflare network performance

Erisa•2/22/25, 3:07 PM

if your free site is slow, you are sure it isn't your origin server and especially if you have users in locations with more expensive bandwidth (asia, africa, south america) then trying out pro isn't the worst decision you could make.
If you're fine paying for bandwidth you can also try argo smart routing which is expensive but very useful for this kind of optimisation

Anyone with Solana gateway for sale?

Thanks, that was helpful!

Hello! My websites and overall services are partially blocked or with degraded performance here in spain due to ISPs aplying blockings to prevent football piracy (they block completely or partially Cloudflare's IP).

If I switch to Cloudflare Pro plan, I'm going to get a different IP address?

andrew_nyr•2/22/25, 8:36 PM

Each plan can use different IP addresses but it is not definite that it will not also be used by the same services. I would reach out to the ISP and talk to them.
