I know some people will be looking for this because it's not that clear on Cloudflare's website. But if you want to delete or remove your domain from Cloudflare you have to pause your site first. Then the option to delete your website is activated. It's not active by default which Cloudflare's help section suggests. It's not as simple as clicking on the settings drop down because you won't see any delete domain function until you pause your site.
The reason for deleting my sites was because one of the main sites I signed up with (this one) started acting funny after I activated Cloudflare. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is but my site was working great before using Cloudflare and just seemed to have all sorts of problems afterward. Anyway, I've deleted all my sites and will test to see if things change back to the way they were. Hope that helps someone out there.
My site is having problems too, after using Cloudflare.
Thank you, Jeff, for your help.
Best Regards.
Me too! cloudflare caused all kinds of problems with my wordpress site. I still can’t get completely rid of the cloudflare buttons in some places, like on my hosting, and my wordpress dashboard. I seriously hate cloudflare now. I was always getting the ‘try for live site’ notice. it’s a great idea, but it’s a terrible service.
Thank you. It’s nice to know that mine isn’t the only site that reacted badly to Cloudflare. I’ll be disabling it immediately.
We’ve had cloudflare for a while now…our site has problems intermittently…now you’ve got me thinking that it could be cloudflare! Thanks for the post!
I recently signed up but decided that I didn’t want to. I didn’t know that my website was still on the website until recently I have been having problems with my website. I figured maybe it had something to do with cloudflare so I decided to remove my domain completely. I hope everything will go back to normal!
How long will it be resolved after deleting my site from cloudflare?
There are a lot of problems with my site because of CLOUDFLARE that’s why i want to delete it.THANKS..
I am Unable to delete my site cause Changed some features.,
Good day! But what about bulk delete? I have so many domains in my account that it is difficult to cancel them manually. Thank you!
I finally worked out that CloudFlare was causing all sorts of problems on my site. Without it, everything is perfect again (and not that much slower). I found it affected things like menus not showing on mouse hover, plugins not working, and other weird and very annoying things.
I’m sure it’s a great service – just not for my site!
If you’re having issues, just use the “pause” button and see if things resolve.
Cheers,
Tim.
