What makes DDoS Protection so important?
Different types of attacks, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and brute-force attacks, can cause significant damage to your website. However, DDoS protection helps mitigate these risks by filtering out malicious traffic from the internet. Cloudflare's network of data centers around the world can detect suspicious traffic patterns and automatically redirect it to a content delivery network (CDN). This prevents the traffic from reaching your server, thereby protecting your website.
Cloudflare Redirects
Cloudflare provides a range of DDoS protection features, including IP blocking, rate limiting, and traffic filtering. Their Cloudflare Redirect feature allows you to redirect trafficked websites to your own server or a CDN, preventing the attack from reaching your website.
