Problem: You have a slow site...

You Have Tried: asking your hosting company to speed things up, turned on caching in Joomla!, optimized everything you know how to, turned off everything you don't need...

It Is Still Slow: So now what? Well you may be looking at switching hosts or upgrading your hosting plan or server power.

Well, before you go through the trouble of that next step... you may want to try a service like CloudFlare.  They make many boasts about increasing speed without any complicated upgrades or tempermental server based caching solutions.  It is all handled through DNS, watch their video and you will get the idea...

Not only do you get your site cached for a speed boost, but you get bad guy filtering at the IP level and some pretty cool analytics to boot.
