Martin, I can recommend Cloudflare. I've used that both on personal and client sites. The biggest advantage is that Cloudflare comes with additional security features, like prevention of DDoS attacks etc, and it cache's static scripts as well, not just images as Photon does. Also, you can invalidate the cache at any point - especially useful under development or when you are changing themes - so you don't need to rename all your static assets. For traffic analytics, very few services trump a well configured Google Analytics.

Hi Skunks,
I speak to those of you who use wordpress in your development. What would you recommend between Wordpress own CDN Photon or Cloudflare? I have been using Photon and it works quite well, but there is much database resource utilization by Jetpack and I have been thinking of doing away with it and opt for Cloudflare for CDN and find another way of traffic analytics (wordpress does have comprehensive realtime data here).
What do you think?
