Web Hosting Tips & Resources From NameHero
Pr_connect_reset_error is a common error message that occurs in network applications when a client sends a request to a server, but the server unexpectedly terminates the connection before the request is completed. This error can be caused by a variety of factors, including network connectivity issues, server configuration problems, or security issues. In this article, […]

If you’ve logged into the section of Cloudflare that deals with security and managed rules, you might see a new notification about migrating to the new Cloudflare managed rules interface. But it’s not just the interface that’s different. Cloudflare is changing the backend architecture of its managed rules implementation, and it’s essential to know how […]
I’d written earlier about Google discontinuing support for Universal Analytics and migrating everyone to GA4. Unfortunately for most of us, we can’t replace Google Analytics just yet, even though plenty of solutions offer overlapping functionality. But one area where we’ll have to look for an alternative is in measuring site speed. Right now, Google Analytics […]
These days, Cloudflare is putting a lot of effort into revamping its cache system. The other day, I wrote about the new Cloudflare Cache Reserve system that had infinite retention using R2 storage. Now Cloudflare is splitting its well-known “Page Rules” system into different streams, with one stream dedicated solely to caching. Here’s how it […]
I like using Cloudflare to process the redirection of my affiliate links. It spares my origin server the extra traffic and results in a faster redirect experience for my visitors. I’d used Page Rules to achieve these redirects for a long time. But the recent tool from Cloudflare called Bulk Redirects offers a better alternative. […]
Response headers can be notoriously difficult to change. Particularly if you’re using a CMS like WordPress, it’s often a mystery where certain response headers are coming from. Cache-control is a great example of where many WordPress developers have torn their hair out in frustration, trying to figure out which plugin or .htaccess rule is setting […]
Right now, QUIC.cloud is the best Cloudflare alternative. While it still has a long way to go to match Cloudflare’s extensive feature set, the basic functionality of a reverse proxy is already up and running. And the pricing model is far more flexible than Cloudflare’s, where the minimum plan costs $20/m. By contrast, QUIC.cloud has […]
I’m a huge admirer of QUIC.cloud, and they currently fill a need that I think is met only by Cloudflare. Cloudflare is, of course, a lot more mature and has more features, but QUIC.cloud is filling out its feature set nicely. One of the biggest advantages of a Cloudflare Pro is the Web Application Firewall […]
I freely admit to finding the “Vary” response header confusing. I know that it controls caching and can take various values such as “Cookie”, “Referrer”, and many other values. I know that it controls the behavior of the cache and that having a messy “Vary” response header can have a terrible impact on cache times. […]
