This evening’s conversation with Copilot revolved around Cloudflare’s service plans and how they fit into Brian Schnabel’s Head Space. Copilot summarized the tiers: Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. The Free plan offers SSL, DDoS protection, basic WAF, CDN, image optimization, AMP support, and community forums. It’s fine for hobby projects but limited.
I asked about those limitations. Copilot explained that Free lacks advanced bot mitigation, stronger uptime credits, APO for WordPress, and direct support channels. Pro adds ticket support, expanded rules, and APO. Business goes further with chat support, more rules, and higher SLA credits.
Curious about Argo Smart Routing, I learned it functions like GPS for Internet traffic, rerouting data through faster, less congested paths. It improves speed, reliability, and cache efficiency. Copilot suggested Pro plus Argo might suit Brian Schnabel’s Head Space, but I decided I’d rather build my own plugin to filter unwanted traffic. That aligns with my modular, lightweight philosophy.
When Copilot in Edge asked if I wanted help building a plugin for WordPress site traffic mitigation purposes, I clarified that I’d lean on the Microsoft 365 Copilot app for coding consistency. Copilot acknowledged that the M365 app is more stable for structured outputs, while this chat version is better for brainstorming and adapting technical findings into public facing language. “Copilot in Edge knows it’s place.”
The takeaway from our exchange is clear. Free Cloudflare is fine for hobby projects but limited. Pro adds APO, stronger rules, and ticket support. Argo Smart Routing is a paid add on that improves speed and reliability but is an extra service I don’t need given my own skillsets.
So, I’m going to be building my own plugin and using M365 Copilot for assistance with the code. I don’t mind using external services where they truly add value. But keeping control through my own plugins seems to be the better economical choice financially and site performance wise right now.
I think I’m paying enough for hosting as it is. Besides, with Microsoft 365 Premium, why shouldn’t I make M365 Copilot work for her money?
I find that using Microsoft Edge Copilot with JAWS for Windows 2026 makes life easier in some respects. Having Copilot summarize a webpage helps to cut through the meaningless noise one using a screen reader usually hears and gives me the information I want to know quickly. I can then ask it questions about the page I’m on without having to go fishing through the extraneous garbage. This way, dodging all the graphics and other layout headaches us blind people have to deal with, I get a pretty good understanding of what’s on a web page, like the one just summarized by Copilot for me, advertising Cloudflare services.
