== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will it work on my site? =
bunny offers 14 days free trial. Why not give a try yourself?

= Why www or subdomain is optionally recommended? =
An actual CNAME can be much faster and accurate in routing compared to ANAME or CNAME Flattening . See the [case-study](https://www.gulshankumar.net/using-cloudflare-dns-without-cdn-or-waf/#Should-you-use-Cloudflare-DNS). Or, if you are on other subdomain then it's perfectly fine. The recommended DNS is Cloudflare.
