# Customize Cloudflare settings

Once your gateway becomes [active](https://developers.cloudflare.com/web3/reference/gateway-status/), you can customize the Cloudflare settings associated with your hostname.

Since your traffic is automatically proxied through Cloudflare, you customize your website settings to take advantage of various [security, performance, and reliability](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/#cloudflare-as-a-reverse-proxy) benefits.
