Take Brandon's comments with a bit of a grain of salt given that he's trying to launch a CloudFlare-like competitor called CDN in a Box. Here's info on CloudFlare and SEO addressing his speculated concerns:
http://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-and-seo Short summary: we actually markedly improve most sites' SEO and can help AppEngine users get SSL on a custom domain. As to the topic at hand, a number of users requested that we provide a way to allow SSL on AppEngine. We added a simple feature to support it and have been surprised how many people have taken advantage of it. Implementing SSL in a cloud-based environment is non-trivial and we spent more than a year, had to form several key partnerships, and developed significant technology, in order to get it to work reliably before we launched CloudFlare. If there are further ways we can help the AppEngine developer community, let us know.
