    Nothing like that, CF doesnt affect your site anyway.

    I don't know if it affects your PR but I do use CloudFlare and I'm a huge fan of it. I normally opt for the $20 a month plan for the increased speed And security options

    I would suggest reading this:

    It will give you an idea of some potentially problems. And also searching Google/Bing regarding CloudFlare and GoogleBot crawling problems.

    CloufFlare won't reduce your PR or position, but if there are crawling problems it will (potentially) get you de-indexed (temporarily) until the issues have been resolved.

    Have you considered a host that provides DDOS mitigation without the use of CloudFlare?
