Now you have a working site, you can add the additional Cloudflare (free) features for both security and visibility.
You can access these from the Settings->General page for your site.
I'd recommend enabling 'Web Analytics' after the site has gone live, and enabling 'Access Policy' prior too. This will keep the site private until you are ready, and give you more accurate initial analytics.
