Could Cloudflare effect Adsense earnings?

[born2run]

Hi, so I've been using Cloudflare cdn for many months now. However just since 1-2 months my earnings from Adsense has crashed by 50%.

I would like to hear opinions from other users of Cloudflare and their adsense earnings. Thanks!

Thanks, most seem to be positive reviews. I'll be re-evaluating in a couple of weeks after my SEO optimizations finally hit the google search index ..

I've been using Cloudflare(Free) with Adsense for almost two years now. To answer your question if Cloudflare could affect Adsense earnings, my answer is a big NO. In fact, Cloudflare helps me save money for CDN services.

The speed of your website does affect your earnings. Cloudflare by itself won't, but if you're moving from nothing to Cloudflare, things should improve.

I've just checked my logs (I moved from Cloudflare to Cloudfront) and it had no effect. But a few changes I made to the speed of the website the previous month moved my ad visibility up from 45 to 54%. This is a big deal.

In general, the faster your website runs, the more visits you'll get from Googlebot, the freshness of your results will go up, and you'll appear higher on Google.

Cloudfront is much, much faster than even a $20/month account with Cloudflare, incidentally: though much less userfriendly.

Cloudflare, in and of itself, has no impact on ad services. It is just a content delivery system.

Any change in your adsense earnings will come from other vectors/causes, which can be many and diverse.

@james007 I can also attest to that. Originally I had my Adsense sites on a basic Godaddy hosting account. I was getting a lot of traffic but not a lot of clicks. Switched to a different host and ordered a dedicated box (This is not required but I had other needs for the server) with more resources and my earnings went up within the first week.

Good information shared by publishers with actual hands on experience with CDNs on this discussion thread. Thanks for sharing! :)
