Tales From The Pumpkin Patch

What's this blog post about?

In October 2011, The Pumpkin Lady, a popular website dedicated to pumpkin carving patterns, sought assistance from CloudFlare due to an anticipated increase in traffic during their busiest week of the year. The Pumpkin Lady's online business attracts its largest audience from Europe and experiences a significant rise in traffic each October. After implementing CloudFlare, they reported saving 1.54 Terabytes of bandwidth and over 136 million requests within a month. This resource savings allowed them to remain on their shared hosting environment without the need for server moves or increased expenses during peak season. The Pumpkin Lady praised CloudFlare as one of their best investments, providing security and capacity expansion that enabled them to focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience.
