Cloudflare acts as a reverse proxy, meaning it sits in front of your website. When a visitor connects to your site, they first connect to Cloudflare, which then fetches the content from your origin server. Cloudflare can handle SSL termination, meaning it decrypts the HTTPS traffic and encrypts it again before sending it to your server. This simplifies SSL management.
