Help topics
Account & billing
Manage your trial and subscription, handle invoices and give teammates the right level of access.
How do I start a free trial?
Submit your business details from a product page or the Free trial entry. After confirmation, you can configure your first protected site in the console.
- Share your work email and traffic scale
- Choose the product to evaluate
- Receive activation guidance from an architect
Who manages invoices and billing?
Administrators with billing access can review orders, billing periods and invoice status in the enterprise account. Contact support before a bill is issued to update invoice or payment details.
Integration & setup
Complete domain onboarding, HTTPS validation and cache policy in the right order to make launch predictable.
What is needed to onboard a new domain?
Prepare access to DNS, the current origin address and a certificate plan. Validate a test subdomain first, then move production traffic.
- Add the domain and choose an onboarding method
- Set the DNS record shown in the console
- Verify HTTPS and origin health
How do cache rules avoid dynamic content?
Exclude sign-in, payment and personalized paths first. Then set TTL by path or file type for static assets, and review the rule preview before publishing.
Security incidents
Move from alert confirmation to mitigation and review with a clear, traceable incident process.
What should I do first after an attack alert?
Confirm the affected domain, time range and user impact before broadening a blocking rule. Keep the alert ID and contact on-call support.
- Check user and origin impact
- Record the alert time, peak and attack type
- Share the alert ID with support
When does a blocking rule take effect?
Published rules propagate quickly to edge locations. For a high-risk rule, start in observe or challenge mode, then move to block after checking false positives.
Performance diagnosis
Break experience problems into edge, network, cache and origin layers to narrow the cause quickly.
How do I investigate slower requests?
Compare latency and status codes by region, then review origin time and cache hit rate. A regional issue usually points to route or node conditions; a global issue often points to the origin.
- Use global speed test to confirm regional differences
- Review cache hit rate and origin time
- Compare origin logs with application change time
What does a low cache hit rate usually mean?
Cache policy may not cover the right assets, query strings may fragment requests, or response headers may prevent caching. Start with the highest-volume reusable resources.
Service status
Check platform and API health first to distinguish a service event from a configuration or origin issue.
Where can I see live service status?
Use the status area in the console to check the latest network, console and API health. Planned maintenance and confirmed events include scope and progress.
What should I include for an API failure?
Keep the request time, endpoint, response status and request ID. Never include API keys or full authorization headers in a support case.
- Record the exact time and timezone
- Copy the request ID from the response
- Describe the calling environment and last successful request
Contact support
Choose the right support channel and include enough context for the team to begin working quickly.
When should I open a support request?
Open a case for integration, configuration, billing, performance or security issues that need human help. Mark the request urgent if an active attack is affecting your business.
- Name the product and affected domain
- Describe symptoms, start time and business impact
- Attach sanitized logs or request IDs
How soon will I receive a response?
Routine requests are handled promptly in business hours. Active attacks and broad service disruption are prioritized by the 24/7 team.
