TL;DR

Google does not ban CDNs like Cloudflare. However, active monitoring of IP addresses is necessary to prevent fraud.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Parce que cela peut faciliter la fraude. Une IP unique partagée pose des risques de manipulation.
Y a-t-il un risque d'utiliser Cloudflare pour un site monetisé avec AdSense?
Oui, surtout s'il y a absence de surveillance active des adresses IP. Cela peut conduire à des suspensions.
Cloudflare peut-il penaliser mon référencement ?
Non, mais negliger les aspects de securite peut engendrer des problemes.
