Have you thought about putting Cloudflare in front of your site to reduce bandwidth consumption?


We have CloudFlare set up, but we only plan to turn it on to mitigate DoS attacks and help out if we run into non-malicious severe load.


Why not use their CDN to offload? (No snark! As an infrastructure guy, I'm always curious why people decide to do certain things certain ways)


Well, we make a big deal about user privacy, and I don't want to give a third party access to that kind of information.
