“I run a full scale digital marketing agency and have been using Troy for over 10 years now.

He fully understands all aspects of working on the technical issues that come up in developing and maintaining WordPress websites, hosting & email support. If you are a small business agency or a independent website developer and would prefer to outsource the more technical aspects of the business, he is the right guy. “

Frequently Asked Questions
Cloudflare offers a robust set of features, though many freelancers and agencies only scratch the surface of its potential. This course is crafted specifically to introduce freelancers and agencies to the essential tools within Cloudflare to secure and optimize client websites.
Our primary focus is on the core features you’ll use day to day, though we’ll also touch on a few deeper topics where they’re most practical. One example is Cloudflare Access, which we’ll cover specifically for locking down WordPress login pages. Highly specialized tools like Argo Smart Routing, Load Balancing, Workers, API Shield, Cache Reserve, and Snippet Rules fall outside the scope of this course.
We’ll cover the most practical features for freelancers and agencies, including Rule Templates, Redirect Rules, WAF rules, caching strategies, and more.

This course works with most hosting providers, with the exception of some host using Cloudflare Enterprise.
To use the services in this course, you need full access to your own Cloudflare account and must have your domain’s nameservers pointed to Cloudflare with the proxy enabled.
Hosts Incompatible with this Course: The following hosts manage their own Cloudflare settings, so they are not compatible with this course:
Rocket.net
Hosts Offering Optional Cloudflare Enterprise: The following hosts offer Cloudflare Enterprise, but only if you choose to enable it:
Cloudways (with Cloudflare add-on)
Hosts Supporting Orange-to-Orange (O2O): These hosts allow Orange-to-Orange (O2O) setups, meaning you can use your own Cloudflare account while they manage their own:
Please Note: While Cloudflare states these hosts support O2O, I have not personally tested them with this course. Compatibility may vary based on your specific setup.
No prior experience is necessary! This course is tailored to be beginner-friendly and walks you through everything step-by-step.
