Can someone explain the use for cloudflare at the end? I thought you can do the same thing just through your domain registrar?

Cloudflare DNS is one of the best authoritative DNS hosters in the world, if not the best already.

Cloudflare is also a great free CDN and has a crap ton of edge servers to make your static content serve quickly around the world. Has a lot of other great features too.

Anycast ftw.

Just need to remember to turn off caching when updating or set the time to update cached data at an interval that works for you. I keep forgetting that sometimes like why isn't the site changing?! Oh right...

>Github pages does not offer secured custom domain name. The best way to get this feature for free is to use Cloudflare.

Quoted from the post. It's used for flexible HTTPS.
