This post details how Cloudflare addressed an issue where search engine crawlers were reducing crawl rates for sites behind Cloudflare due to issues with a single origin server. Cloudflare developed a new technology to automatically change a site's Cloudflare IP addresses to isolate it from other sites when a problem is detected.

This resulted in improved SEO rankings and page speed scores for users.
