Clearing the Storage Areas

Session state is released as soon as the last window to reference that data is closed. However, users can clear storage areas at any time by selecting Delete Browsing History from the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, selecting the Cookies check box, and clicking OK. This clears session and local storage areas for all domains that are not in the Favorites folder and resets the storage quotas in the registry. Clear the Preserve Favorite Site Data check box to delete all storage areas, regardless of source.

frankacteron CloudFlare: A website security product accidentally makes sites 60% faster

regarding "limited to sites under 'x' amount of traffic", I just inquired to CloudFlare on that exact question yesterday and received this response:

"Some of the biggest sites on CloudFlare do well over 10M page views per day."

Given the current plans are FREE and $20/mo, it would see that there is not a limit at this point.

I also inquired regarding the Enterprise services and was told it is strictly a matter of additional features being made available, not related to traffic or usage.
