> how would they know what to cache?
That's a weird question to ask to someone that went out of their way to describe a non-caching situation.
> Also, how would their certificates work if they don’t see content?
Can you be more specific? I'm not sure which feature you're asking about or how it uses certificates.
But the answer is likely "that feature isn't necessary to provide DDOS protection".
Sorry, they did not go much out of their way, to simply claim “solutions exist”. Sure, you could invent other ways of protecting your traffic but what CF offers in the free tier always includes SSL termination with their own certificates (if you enable ssl), and always includes caching.
> invent other ways
Just turning off some features gets them just about there. It wouldn't take rearchitecting things. Those features being bundled by default means very little for the difficulty.
So you too, are saying “its possible” as proof of your argument.
Which itself shifted from complaining that you aren’t warned that coffee is hot, to - after implicitly agreeing that it should be obvious it’s hot - complaining that it they didn’t have to make it as hot.
Great! Offer an alternative! Everyone would be more than happy.
