Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need a paid Cloudflare account for this?
No, the free tier of Cloudflare Workers gives you 100,000 requests per day, which is more than enough for most affiliate marketers.
Will this slow down my website?
Not at all. The redirects happen at the Cloudflare Edge network before the traffic even reaches your origin server, taking less than 10 milliseconds.
Can I use this for Amazon affiliate links?
It is technically possible, but it violates Amazon's TOS regarding link cloaking. We recommend using this for software and SaaS affiliate programs instead.
