Introducing CloudFlare Origin CA

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced Origin CA, an encryption service for its customers that provides free and performant HTTPS protection for their origin servers. The new feature is designed to make it easier and more efficient for users to secure their websites with SSL/TLS certificates. Origin CA offers several benefits over public certificate authorities (CAs), including ease of issuance and renewal, support for wildcard certificates, faster and simpler revocation processes, compatibility with a wide range of web servers and operating systems, and optimized certificates that increase performance and reduce bandwidth consumption at the origin. Users can issue Origin CA certificates through the Cloudflare dashboard, API, or CLI.
