Cloudflare Community: Load Balancing Improves Performance
Cloudflare is a popular provider of internet security and performance services, and its Load Balancing feature is one of its most useful tools for improving website performance. Load Balancing is an effective way to manage traffic on a website that has multiple servers. The Load Balancer ensures that traffic is distributed evenly across all servers in the pool, in a way that maximizes their efficiency.
One of the key benefits of Cloudflare’s Load Balancer is that it can help alleviate the problem of server downtime. This is because if one server goes down, the Load Balancer automatically sends traffic to the other servers in the pool, ensuring that the website stays up and running. However, some users have raised concerns that the Load Balancer may sometimes send all traffic to just one server in the pool, even though there are multiple servers available.
To address this concern, Cloudflare has explained that it is possible to configure the Load Balancer to send all traffic to just one server in the pool, and then switch to the other servers when the first one experiences downtime. This is done by assigning a weight of 100% to the first server in the pool, and a weight of 0% to the other servers. When the first server goes down, the Load Balancer will automatically switch to the other servers.
Cloudflare Load Balancer is a powerful tool that can help your website stay up and running, even during heavy traffic periods. By using it to balance out traffic across multiple servers, you can gain significant performance improvements and avoid costly downtime.
