Static sites: Do I really need Cloudflare on top of Render?

Hello @Jade_Paoletta . Finally someone is speaking up because I feel so helpless about the issues I am experiencing recently - my site’s traffic is down by 20% and this seems to have something to do with Cloudflare (just dont know is this CloudFlare you guys running in front of the Render or CloudFlare I connect to on my end).

I suspect that a lot of my website visitors is being blocked from accessing the website and this cause Google to de-rank/de-index my website in search results.

Please see this topic to understand what is going on:
