May I recommend that this site be put on CloudFlare? That thing is absolutely amazing, and it's free, so there's really no reason not to.

Cloudflare really isn't optimal for a site that gets continuously updated repeatedly every minute. It's good for Blogs that get updated daily, but not nearly as often, or plain text websites that get updated less.

Cloudflare would actually be great for this site. There are TONS of images and that is what Cloudflare will cache. In a way it's like a DNS. It will also save on bandwidth costs as well since those images are cached. My site uses it and I've saved well more than half my bandwidth and I don't have nearly as many images.

Yes the new server the site is on is great and the site is faster than its ever been, and cloudflare isn't just about speed but also bandwidth. Cloudflare does not cache dynamic content, but images, css, and JS. Theres also an option should CG need to change something in scripts or CSS to temporarily turn the caching off.

I think the site could benefit greatly with Cloudflare. I don't know what kind of set up CG has for bandwidth costs but Cloudflare will definitely cut bandwidth usage.
