Thank you very much @xolubi. I will set up Cloudfare again and check the TTL settings.

I will be honest with you people will not buy a high ticket item called awolowo chair online. Maybe some luxury American or European brand but not made by ibeabuchi or whoever. Now if you partner with a bank and offer consumer finance then possibly. Or if you target cheap Knick knacks like those bean bag sofas or self assembly wardrobes, TV stands, desks yes. But I may be wrong.
I began the cloudflare setup again and at the āAdd DNS Recordsā section, my DNS records from Route53 were imported. I couldnāt edited the TTL for the imported records, so I deleted some and readded them manually. When adding the records, I could choose the TTL as shown in your screenshot but once saved, they TTL reverts to āAutomatic TTL - TTL is managed by Cloudflare.ā I donāt like this feature at all.
Another reason why Iām being careful with migrating my DNS to Cloudflare is that Amazon Iāve already configuration Reverse DNS and PTR records for my mail server. Do you think migrating the DNS to Cloudflare will affect the Reverse DNS? Thank you.

Thanks for your thoughts @Nwabu. This is a period of experiments, learning, and relearning. As we reveal other experiments, weāll be able to determine if a ānameā is a deciding factor when someone wants to make a purchase irrespective of the perceived value and quality.
This is a risky service which will need the company to have sufficient risk tolerance before venturing into it. I will keep it under consideration for the nearest future.

Hereās how CloudFlare worksā¦ and why you are seeing that message. When the orange cloud is active on a DNS record, it means CloudFlare is active as a WAF (Web Application Firewall) for that record. The most visible consequence of this is that requests to that record hits a CloudFlare IP, passes through a series of filters to detect any form of maliciousness, before going to your server. I say most visible because if you ping the record, you will get a CloudFlare IP address instead.
TTL doesnāt matter in this case because if you change the IP address you want the record to point to on your dashboard, the IP reported by pinging the record stays the same, while CloudFlare handles proxying it to the new location. We are no longer in TTLs of 5-minute, 30-minute, or whatever territory - changes are immediate.
On the CDN side, purging files from your CloudFlare CDN takes an average of 30 seconds and is free. The API is also very straightforward which means if you have continuous integration in place, you can plug it into your workflow to purge your assets such as css, etc. CloudFront on the other hand takes minutes (5 minutes and longer) to āinvalidateā files, and they charge for it.
Congrats @Ndianabasi Nice one man. Wish o Success to your Team. O

Thank you for the good wishes. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours too @emmanueladegor.
Thank you for this explanation @xolubi. The WAF and reverse proxy sides of Cloudflare DNS makes more sense to me now. How does all these affect the reverse DNS which was set by Amazon from their own end? Does Cloudflare offer reverse DNS services?
No you cannot. If that is really important to you, stick to Route53.

Nice looking website. But everyone can see the technology stack beneath. I can see ur theme, i can see the developer of your theme, i can see all ur plugins. U should hide these things. If anyone wants to see what ur site is built with they should use builtwith.com which wont reveal much except that it is built on magento, but having everything out there in the open is just revealing way too much.
If you were using WP i could recommend plugins u can use to hide these info. But i dont know any for magento.
Thank you for this great feedback.
Iāve taken care of these. For plugins, I donāt know how else hide those as the scripts are in plain sight.
Did you build the site yourself?
Yes sir @Lamidi_b_a.
Impressive. Your logo needs some work though. Some people might say a logo is irrelevant.
Iām not feeling this naming convention.
How do you handle delivery? Have you made any sale yet?
Hi Ndiana,
Iām glad you have a secured website 
Your advanced search variables is too much. Overall width and height? Would it not limit the relevant options drasticallyā¦? I would suggest a min/maxā¦
Some links are broken.
All the best!
@Ndianabasi Saw this bundled sale online. Just thought to drop it off.
Looks like something I could indulge in anytime am in the market for furnitures.
Worth a lookā¦eh? Hopefully you have such in the pipeline, if not already.
Cheers.

Hello @Lamidi_b_a. Thank you. Sorry for the late reply. My server went down due to internal firewall issues that prevented it from booting. I had work throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday to restore the server.
- The logo was meant to be simple as most modern logos are. Please, if you have any suggestions, Iām open to it.
- The nicknaming of items are restricted to furniture. Other categories of items to be revealed later will not be nicknamed.
- Iām working with 3LPs to provide delivery outside Lagos. Delivery within Lagos will be handled by Furnish.NG. This will enable us to meet with customers and receive valuable feedback from them.
- If you make a purchase right now, it will count as sales
Hello oga @manifest. Thank you for your feedback and for the good wishes. Iāve reduced the attribute on the Advanced Search page.
Do you mean āa blank pageā or ā404ā page?
Hello @87_chuks. Thanks for this heads-up. Yes, Furnish.NG supports bundled products. We can do this in two ways: as a simple product with a static price or as a dynamic product with customisable list of prelisted items from select categories. See an example of a dynamic bundle product here: https://www.furnish.ng/living-room-leather-furniture-bundle.html.
@Ndianabasi @Nosa_O The amount your client will be charged will depend on the bank rates for their currency at that instant. No need to worry what their local currency is, the current rate or any other things related to that. We have all that figured. You will always get exactly the naira value you specified for the transaction.
