How does this website work?

Utilising a Cloud VM (Virtual Machine) offered by Google Cloud is one of the essential elements that enables smooth updates and maintenance. With the help of this strong tool, I can modify, improve, and optimise the website's infrastructure without affecting the usability for users like you. To put it another way, I can work to make improvements "behind the scenes" while ensuring the site is still available and functional.

I also use Cloudflare's features to further improve the website's performance and security. This includes utilising their CDN (Content Delivery Network) to effectively distribute content to you, ensuring rapid page loads wherever you are. Additionally, the site is protected from threats by Cloudflare's security capabilities, making your surfing experience safe.
