Why “Edge-Layer” Filtering Wins
- Bots are blocked at Cloudflare’s edge, before they reach your infrastructure or count as “billable events.”
- Over 70% of all traffic is handled at the edge, not your server—so you get better performance and budget certainty.
- Our approach is pre-configured for Acquia & Pantheon, with zero downtime or code changes.
At Promet Source, we don't believe in merely pointing out problems—we solve them. We implement Cloudflare with specialized configurations that optimize the integration between Drupal and Cloudflare's WAF and CDN. This enhanced setup delivers superior performance and security compared to standard implementations.
