We serve kkinvesting.io across 40+ countries in 17 languages through Cloudflare. Here is what made the biggest difference.
Cache Rules Per Language
Default Cloudflare cache rules do not handle multilingual sites well. We configure:
- Cache by language path (
/en/*,/ja/*, etc.) - Different TTLs for static vs dynamic content
- Bypass cache for admin and preview URLs
Browser Rendering API
Cloudflare offers a Browser Rendering API we use for:
- Generating screenshots of competitor sites
- Pre-rendering JavaScript-heavy pages
- Content extraction for research
Security Without Breaking UX
- WAF rules that do not block legitimate API calls
- Rate limiting per IP with higher thresholds for API endpoints
- Bot protection that allows search engine crawlers
Core Web Vitals Results
After optimization:
- LCP: < 2.5s (was 4.2s)
- FID/INP: < 100ms
- CLS: < 0.1
The biggest win was enabling Cloudflare's Early Hints and setting proper cache headers.
