Summary

On June 2nd, 2012, CloudFlare announced that they have implemented measures to protect their users from the BEAST SSL attack. The solution involves supporting TLS 1.1 and 1.2 as well as prioritizing RC4 cypher suites. This update not only enhances security but also improves overall SSL performance by approximately 30%. As a result, sites using CloudFlare's SSL now receive an A score from SSLLabs, surpassing the scores of major websites like Google and Facebook. All paid CloudFlare plans include SSL by default, ensuring secure connections for all site visitors.
