      Serbia gets talked about a lot, perhaps that has caused us to show up there enough to get a lot of traffic?

      I'm pretty sure there is one person for the cause of that. 🙂

        @mlnews Hi; I work for CloudFlare. Just wanted to share a few tips that might be able to help your performance:

        1. HTTPS - By enabling HTTPS you can allow your users to access your site through HTTP/2 and SPDY, which dramatically improves page load speed. After this is enabled, you can configure HTTP/2 Server Push to get things to be even faster.
        2. Page Rules - Page Rules allow you to use a "Cache Everything" setting where you can even cache static content.
        3. On your server be sure to whitelist CloudFlare's IPs to make sure they're not rate limiting your connection to us.
        4. Ensure correct cache headers are being sent to ensure the content you want to cache, is being cached by us.

        Hope your enjoying our service so far! Let us know if you need any further help.

          lol. How long has this been on @scottalanmiller todo list? It took us 2 years to get email, hopefully we can get this done faster?

            We already have HTTPS here at ML, you just have to do it on purpose, it's not forced upon you.

                @Dashrender I am not happy until it is enabled by default, and I get a green lock 🙂

                  Probably because the images are hosted by imgur?

                        Seems like the Rackspace CDN is the issue?

                              Green bar is the EV ones... basically just a marketing scam.

                                @coliver Right, but Green Lock just means everything is fine with the SSL Certificate.

                                    OK never heard of the green lock before.

                                    is forced TLS a requirement of green lock? Seems unlikely.

                                    We don't get a green lock because of the RS CDN you found.

                                        It's never been on my to do list. But HTTPS works. Are you using it? After the first month it only ever got up to 6% usage.

                                            HTTPS is there now. Is there something more needed?
