Summary
In 2014, Cloudflare introduced Universal SSL to make HTTPS availability for any internet property easy and free. Since then, encryption has become an essential part of the modern internet. To further enhance security, Cloudflare has launched SSL/TLS Recommender, a tool that guides users to stronger configurations for backend connections from Cloudflare to origin servers. The tool is designed to ensure maximum possible security without compromising website functionality and performance. It performs various checks based on the site's currently configured SSL/TLS option to determine if an upgrade is possible.
