Cloudflare redirects your DNS to their setup, then essentially clones your website and uses their DNS to determine which cloned set of files is closeset to the web user's network....
This also helps prevent you getting hit by a DDOS attack...
I've done a website for a music festival, TONS of hits in a short time and cloudflare saved our butt, caching the site all over the place, but note that updating stuff takes a few minutes to reset the caches.
It's not completely magic, but it can really help...
in our experience cloudflare never crashed... but we certainly were overloaded until we used it..
