https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=kloudsec.com Pretty good but not sure if you need a 4k cert (5651 bytes). That's quite a bit of overhead as well as there shouldn't be a need to send the root cert. Save yourself some traffic. Also, you could probably pare down the cipher list somewhat. The combo of DHE + 4k RSA is probably going to chew up a bunch of CPU unnecessarily. But pretty nice so far.

https://tls.imirhil.fr/https/kloudsec.com SSL Labs is nice, but a bit permissive, not sure anyone really needs 3DES nowadays.

That's a pretty nice site but provides no cues towards what the different colors mean as well as potential remediation.

I can kinda guess at the French words but would rather read it in English.

We're obviously competitors (CloudFlare), and I'm not speaking for the company, but congratulations on building this -- it's quite impressive, especially as a small team.

I have nothing but respect for Cloudflare's engineering prowess :)

Couldflare is essential for your company website to be more than a blank page, indeed.

Haha, yeah it's a one-page app. And truthfully, we regret splitting up the front-end/backend-API in the day 0 of development. It slowed our dev pace down. Lesson for startups, start with a monolithic app, split it later.

I had to whitelist your domain in NoScript. And also Cloudflare.com... Why are you using your competitors CDN service to serve some javascript on your site? All I saw was a blank page without the assets served from cloudflare's CDN. What kind of CDN are you?

I guess the correct answer is "one that doesn't dogfeeds itself"...
