The Cloudflare Free plan offers basic CDN and security, but the Cloudways Cloudflare
Enterprise add-on goes significantly further. It includes enterprise-level DDoS protection across layers 3, 4, and 7, a managed Web Application Firewall (WAF), Argo Smart Routing and
Argo Tiered Caching for faster global delivery, full page caching at the edge, and bot management for enterprise that isn’t part of the Free plan. You also get
reserved IPs, global rate limiting, turnstile, and PCI DSS compliance support. All of these are pre-configured and managed through Cloudways, whereas the Free plan requires manual setup and does not provide the same performance or security coverage.
