Case Study: Creare achieves dramatic SEO gains, DDoS protection and faster site performance with Cloudflare

One Client’s Site Increased By Around 20 Rankings On Google, Just By Installing Cloudflare

Creare is a UK digital marketing agency that hosts thousands of SME websites and provides SEO services. While revamping server security and preparing for a high-profile site relaunch, Creare faced major availability and security challenges—including a severe DDoS attack and emerging SSL vulnerabilities—that threatened site performance, SEO rankings and customer trust.

By joining Cloudflare’s Optimized Partner program and deploying a Cloudflare Business account, Railgun and UK Anycast data centers, Creare quickly mitigated the DDoS (in under 30 minutes), hardened SSL handling and blocked Layer 7 attacks. The result: faster global load times, a 3x reduction in outbound bandwidth on Railgun-optimized sites, fewer blacklistings, and dramatic SEO gains (one client jumped about 20 Google rankings after installing Cloudflare).
