XenForo 2.4 is getting some improvements to the query builder/finder system, so might not need to drop down to raw queries at that point (of course, doesn't help now though). https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-2-4-status-and-whats-new-under-the-hood.231562/post-1749367

Only you can really answer that. If you think it needs more work/features/polish/stability, then keep working on it. If not, release it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

digitalpoint updated [DigitalPoint] App for Cloudflare® with a new update entry: Copy settings between zones Read the rest of this update entry...

I’d check your web server logs so you can understand what the underlying traffic is/is not. Once you have a handle on that, you can decide how you want to mitigate it.

Yep… I’ve been saying for years that XenForo should be a framework and things like Forum and CMS is just a fist-party addon you can optionally install.

Yep… 100%. Just yesterday I was adding some new stuff to my Cloudflare addon and I made a conscious decision to do the WordPress version first because I feel like I loose 20 IQ points when working with it. Then the XenForo version afterwards so I can recover the IQ. That’s actually true btw…

It’s still internally terrible, so same ol’… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wouldn't that still be limited to the resources the server has if the logic is running on the server? What happens if a rogue bot hits your server with 10,000,000 requests per second? Obviously I don't know anything about it, but seems to me, the better option would be to handle the problem...

No, domains don’t need to be registered with Cloudflare. Most Cloudflare services do need the traffic proxied through Cloudflare though (orange cloud on the DNS).

I guess you could enable the I’m Inder Attack mode in Cloudflare and force a captcha on every page view? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yep, and good bots (like Googlebot) as well as people finding your site via search (unregistered users) should see significantly faster load times since they are just being fed the content from geographically closer places (Cloudflare data centers). A single location on earth (your origin...

Enable the option to cache pages for guests (under Admin -> Cloudflare -> Edge caching).

Yes, because when a page is cached, the request doesn't even need to go to your origin server, it's served to the user (or bot) directly from Cloudflare's closest data center. It's kind of the point (at least partially).

It’s listed in the error: www.googletagmanager.com Unrelated, but you probably don’t want to use Cloudflare or Google public name servers on a server. They aren’t “unlimited” use and servers tend to need more queries (routing mail and things like that) than say a laptop. They work okay until...

Your server isn’t able to communicate with Google’s servers, and in fact the DNS server your server is using is resolving the hostname to a private/non-routable IP address (10.x.x.x) is used for internal/private networks. You can disable the option to host the JavaScript on your own domain if...
