Hi, I'm Danchief bug-catcher
Your Cloudflare setup is the front door to your business. I've seen first-hand how much it can protect, and what it quietly costs when nobody's maintaining it.
16 years in security and infrastructure on business-critical UK public sector systems at IBM, then Cloudflare WAF and bot defence for Artlist's global AI platform and their 30M+ creators. Now I look after yours, day in, day out.

Want more from your Cloudflare?
Most teams use a fraction of what Cloudflare can do. If a few of these sound familiar, there's a lot more to get out of it.

Managed providers wait for a ticket. We don't.
Nobody wants to log into Cloudflare every day to see what the WAF is doing. So we stay on it for you, and fix what we find.

We're already looking
- ✓ Watches your WAF all week, unprompted

FAQs

How is this different from our MSP?
Most managed service providers react: they fix what you report. We work the other way round — we keep watch over your WAF all week, find what's costing you, and fix it before you've noticed. You can still raise requests, you just shouldn't need to.
Why not just hire someone in-house?
You could, and for some companies it's the right call. But a senior security hire costs well over £70k a year before recruitment fees and the months it takes to find them, and Cloudflare is only one part of their job. With TrafficBugs you get a specialist on your WAF from the first week, for a fixed monthly fee, with no employment contract, and you can pause when things are quiet.
How do we work together day to day?
You give us scoped access to Cloudflare and a shared channel: Slack, Teams or email, whichever you already use. We get on with the checks and fixes, flag anything that needs a decision from you, and send a plain-English report each month. Need something? Drop it in the channel.
What's included in a Start Check?
A one-off review of your Cloudflare setup: WAF and managed rules, bot settings, rate limits, and anything blocking real customers or crawlers. We fix the essentials, then walk you through what we found and what's left. Join the membership within 30 days and the £1,200 comes off your first month.
Can I still raise requests?
Yes, as many as you like. Most land within 24–48 hours, and anything blocking customers or revenue goes to the front of the queue.
What access do you need to Cloudflare?
A scoped account role or API token covering the zones we look after — security, WAF and bot settings, plus read access to analytics. Nothing outside that, and you can revoke it whenever you like.
How does pausing work?
Tell us and we'll pause at the end of your billing month. Your rules keep running as we left them, and you can pick back up whenever you're ready — the week before a launch is a good time.
What if a change breaks something?
Risky rules go out in log or challenge mode first, and every change is written up in your report. If something does misbehave, tell us and we'll roll it back straight away.
Do you only work with Cloudflare?
Yes, on purpose. Going deep on one platform is how we spot problems quickly. If you're on another CDN or WAF, get in touch and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
