CDN performance and security features
Cloudflare dominates in CDN performance with 310+ locations globally. Your site loads from the server closest to the visitor, which dramatically reduces latency. Cloudflare also offers advanced DDoS protection capable of absorbing attacks of several Tbps.
Sucuri excels at active security - it continuously scans your site for malware, monitors blacklist statuses and offers manual cleanup of infected sites. If your site is hacked, the Sucuri team will clean it and close the security holes.
For WordPress sites on BeoHosting, the free Cloudflare plan is an excellent starting point for a CDN and basic protection. Sucuri is the better choice if you have a high-risk site or have already been hacked.
