If Cloudflare sits in front of a large share of your traffic, it becomes part of your revenue path, your login flow, your admin access, and your AI traffic handling.

Founders still need to know what is exposed, what is proxied, and what happens when a setting changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The real question for 2026 is not whether Cloudflare is useful.
