Challenge: Optimizing user experience while keeping attackers at bay is difficult without a deep understanding of your traffic-down to the individual request.

Solution: Cloudflare provides detailed logs of your HTTP requests. Use these logs to debug, identify configuration adjustments to improve performance and security, and create custom analytics. Combine request logs with other data sources, such as application server logs, for end-to-end visibility.
