Why Choose This Plugin?

The Super Page Cache for Cloudflare plugin helps you to make your website blazing fast by taking the website caching to the next level. This plugin will help you to cache not only the static files (e.g. CSS, JS, images etc.) but also the HTML webpages generated by WordPress; both at server disk-level and to the global Cloudflare CDN.

Moreover, this plugin works completely out of the box, all you need to do is provide your Cloudflare Account’s API Key or API Token details and the plugin will do the rest. But if you are a curious/advanced user, there are detailed settings inside the plugin which you can tweak to make it work as you like. But for most users, you don’t need to change any settings as this plugin will work perfectly with the default settings, out of the box.

Unlike most caching plugin out there which only provides disk caching (i.e. the cached webpages will be served from your web-server), this plugin will cache your webpages and static files to the Cloudflare CDN, one of the fastest CDN networks in the world.

With more than 200 CDN edge locations provided by Cloudflare, your webpage will be served from the nearest CDN location of the visitor, rather than sending the request to your web server which might be sitting on the other side of the world. This will reduce your website loading speed drastically thanks to taking advantage of the Cloudflare CDN, not only for the static files but also for the HTML webpages. Take a look at the review video below by IdeaSpot, which will give you a clear idea about the plugin before you install it.

How does the plugin work?

This plugin takes full advantage of the FREE Cloudflare Plan, so to use this plugin, you don’t need a paid Cloudflare account. But if you like to use features like Cloudflare image optimization, WAF (Web Application Firewall) etc. then you have to pay for the Cloudflare Pro plan to enable those features in your Cloudflare account.

The free Cloudflare plan allows you to enable a page cache by entering the Cache Everything page rule, greatly improving response times. However for dynamic websites such as WordPress, it is not possible to use this page rule without running into problems as it is not possible to exclude critical web pages from the cache, the sessions for logged in users, ajax requests and much more. Thanks to this plugin all of this becomes possible.

This plugin enable page caching on your website by taking advantage of either the Cloudflare Cache Everything page rule or using Cloudflare Worker. By default the Cloudflare Worker mode is disabled as it is not 100% free like the Cache Everything page rule. But you can enable it if you like.

The Cloudflare Worker based solution will help you to have a clean page caching solution without any cache buster query string (/?swcfpc=1) for logged-in users. Moreover, you can also overwrite our default worker code to add your own custom login into it if you are an advanced user.

You will be able to significantly improve the response times of your WordPress website by taking advantage of the very fast Cloudflare cache also for HTML pages, saving a lot of bandwidth. The alternative to this plugin is to purchase and configure the Enterprise plan.

Not just these, we are constantly working towards adding new useful features to the plugin all the time. So, your love and support is what keep us going. If you love using the plugin, please consider sharing your review in the review section.

Important Notice

If you are using this plugin in conjunction with other page caching plugins like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache etc. please ensure that the page caching feature is disabled on those plugins, as the page caching will be handled by this plugin only. While you can use those other plugins for your static assets (e.g. CSS, JS, images etc.) optimization.

You can also use plugins like Autoptimize, Perfmatters, ShortPixel to optimize your static assets while using this plugin for page caching. This plugin do not provide any static assets optimization and we have no plans to support that in future as there are many great quality plugins that handle that matter very well.

If you are an advanced user/developer, you will be pleased to know that this plugin is 100% jQuery free and compatible with all versions of WordPress and all WordPress themes.

If you are using Kinsta as your hosting provider, this plugin works flawlessly with Kinsta’s Server Level Caching and this plugin has also been thoroughly tested on Kinsta Servers to ensure it is fully compatible with Kinsta Server Caching.

Moreover if you are using any hosting platform for whom we support their native server caching (i.e. Kinsta, WP Engine, SpinupWP etc.) you don’t have to enable our fallback cache system, as you can use the native disk cache provided by your host instead of using our disk level fallback cache.

FAQ

How this plugin is different from Cloudflare APO?

Cloudflare have launched Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) feature in 2020 which works with the default Cloudflare WordPress plugin. APO works by taking advantage of Cloudflare Workers & KV Storage. As APO uses KV to store the cached content, one of the feature it has is that when something is cached via APO, it instantly get pushed to all the Cloudflare edges around the world, even though no requests has came from that region.

Our plugin is created to ensure even the Cloudflare FREE account users can take full advantage of Cloudflare CDN caching, so we provide both option (page rule based – which is the default mode) and the Worker based. Now Cloudflare Worker is not 100% free like the page rules so for very high traffic site, users might need to pay to use the Cloudflare Workers.

That being said, CF APO costs 5$/month for free account holders and it is free for paid account users. But still it lacks many features, functionality and third-party plugin integration compared to our plugin. The feature and integration provided by our plugin is simply unmatched by APO. Currently we can’t push the cache everywhere like APO but we are planning to do something similar in near future. If you are still curious, read this thread where you will find a detailed comparison with Cloudflare APO vs this plugin.

How do I know if everything is working properly?

To verify that everything is working properly, I invite you to check the HTTP response headers of the displayed page in Incognito mode (browse in private). Super Page Cache for Cloudflare returns two headers:

x-wp-cf-super-cache

If its value is cache, Super Page Cache for Cloudflare is active on the displayed page and the page cache is enabled. If no-cache, Super Page Cache for Cloudflare is active but the page cache is disabled for the displayed page.

x-wp-cf-super-cache-active

This header is present only if the previous header has the value cache.

If its value is 1, the displayed page should have been placed in the Cloudflare cache.

To find out if the page is returned from the cache, Cloudflare sets its header called cf-cache-status.

If its value is HIT, the page has been returned from cache.

If MISS, the page was not found in cache. Refresh the page.

If BYPASS, the page was excluded from Super Page Cache for Cloudflare.

If EXPIRED, the page was cached but the cache has expired.

Do you allow to bypass the cache for logged in users even on free plan?

Yes. This is the main purpose of this plugin.

What is the swcfpc query variabile I see to every internal links when I’m logged in?

It is a cache buster. Allows you, while logged in, to bypass the Cloudflare cache for pages that could be cached.

Do you automatically clean up the cache on website changes?

Yes, you can enable this option from the settings page.

Can I restore all Cloudflare settings as before the plugin activation?

Yes, there is a reset button.

What happens if I delete the plugin?

I advise you to disable the plugin before deleting it, to allow you to restore all the information on Cloudflare. Then you can proceed with the elimination. This plugin will delete all the data stored into the database so that your WordPress installation remains clean.

What happens to the browser caching settings on Cloudflare?

You will not be able to use them anymore. However, there is an option to enable browser caching rules

Does it work with multisite?

Yes but it must be installed separately for each website in the network as each site requires an ad-hoc configuration and may also be part of different Cloudflare accounts.

Can I use this plugin together with other performance plugins such like Autoptimize, WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache?

Yes, you can. Read the FAQ section in the plugin settings page for further information

I have more questions or Something is not working, what can I do?

First check the questions mentioned in the FAQ tab inside the plugin settings page, as you will find most of the questions already answered there. If that still doesn’t help, Enable the log mode and send us the log file and the steps to reproduce the issue. Make sure you are using the latest version of the plugin.

Your website is as fast as your Cloudflare configuration. I discovered Super Page Cache through a friend and decided to give it a spin. The plugin has ton of settings and you might feel lost at first BUT what you actually need is to start from a simple configuration that makes Cloudflare work for your website. No Pro plan required, no Automatic WordPress Optimization (APO) license either. Make sure to fasten your seatbelt and turn that preloader on.

Good work

have tried a few plugins to connect to Cloudflare caching and this is the most advanced. many more options with good explanations of what each of them do.

Gwyneth Llewelyn 16 juni 2024 1 reactie

… it’s tricky to set up!You might have noticed that 80% of the reviews give 5 stars to this plugin. Aye, it well deserves them! And then there are a few who simply say “doesn’t work” or “does nothing” or “same error as reported 5 years ago” and just give one star. There is not much in-between! How come?The explanation is easy.WordPress users come in all forms and shapes, and that also means quite different levels of know-how. Many entry-level cache plugins are very easy to set up: install it, click a checkbox to “enable cache”, and in 90% of the cases, that’s all you need to do. Some give you a few options to further tweak your setup, but these are mostly optional and/or “advanced usage” for the very few that really need them.This is the case of the free, built-in cache plugins already being offered by many hosting providers. They are installed automatically when WordPress is installed. They are also automatically configured. The end-user doesn’t need to do much, and, in many cases, they’re not even aware that a cache plugin is being used — everything works transparently and effortlessly.Obviously, that level of simplicity comes with a catch: you can’t really optimise much in terms of caching. It’s a one-size-fits-all-but-probably-none situation. In many cases, turning off the hosting provider’s plugin and adding your own will give you the possibility of tweaking things further, beyond what an automatic configuration can do.And then there is the other extreme of the spectrum: W3 Total Cache. The cache plugin that has everything and does everything. You can precisely configure the most minute details of your whole caching framework (because, well, it doesn’t limit itself to caching pages — it does pretty much everything). W3 Total Cache goes even further, actively looking for “improvement” tools that it can use and which might be running on your server — and allows you to activate them. Selectively. So you can use a Redis cache for some things (such as, say, object cache) but let the page cache stay on disk; or write some rules to get some elements automatically sent to a CDN, while keeping others local. It does support Cloudflare, too (as well as many, many other providers). In fact, it would be hard to think of anything that W3TC does not support or doesn’t allow to be configured.So why isn’t everybody using it, if it’s that good?Well, W3TC is impossibly hard to configure. Or, rather, you can do it, but it will be a nightmare to “get it right”. You might be “overtweaking” your configuration (it happened to me all the time!) and, as a consequence, W3TC would even slow down your system. You can miss a crucial parameter and throw your site offline in a second. And sure, you can make a copy of all the configuration settings that you have carefully preserved over the years, hoping to avoid all the trouble the next time you configure another WP installation. Well, good luck with that. It’s highly likely that a different WP site will, well, require different configurations. Some WP sites have zero JavaScript, but complex CSS; others have minimalistic CSS, but very clever JavaScript tricks, such as partially loading bits of content instead of a full page. Tweaking W3TC for each of those scenarios can be completely different and may require you to dump your “favourite” configuration and just start from scratch again. Oh, and that’s until your end-user decides to switch themes and/or add new plugins. Then you have to do everything from scratch — again.Not everybody has that amount of free time, nor the enthusiasm and dedication required to keep W3TC operating smoothly. It’s simply too complex to configure and maintain. As a result, most sites using W3TC ae not as optimised as they could be.Enter Super Page Cache for Cloudflare.This plugin, in terms of complexity and the ability to fine-tune several performance parameters, is closer to W3TC and further away from the “generic” page cache plugin pre-installed by hosting providers. In other words: there is a lot to configure until you “get it right”. The “reasonable defaults” that it starts with are… well, reasonable, sure, in the sense that they will not blow up your website, but the performance enhancements will not be dramatic.That’s as it should be, because the heavy-duty work is not being done by WordPress, nor even by Super Page Cache for Cloudflare; indeed, most is being done on Cloudflare’s side. And this is the right way to do it! Super Page Cache for Cloudflare essentially prepares WordPress to correctly interface with Cloudflare and leverages on what Cloudflare already provides (for free) in order to seriously accelerate your website.In other words…There is a limit to how much you can tweak your website locally. The “best of the best” caching plugin cannot magically wave some metrics away. If you’re hosting in the US, but your clients connect from Europe, there is no way to tweak and fine-tune your caching plugin so that European users get faster access to your website. There is a limit to how fast data can be transferred between the two sides of the Atlantic — ultimately, the speed of light. You cannot get faster than that! So, at best, you can hope for a local optimal configuration: giving users near to your data centre the best experience possible, and, well, there is not much more you can do beyond that, right? There is no way to go faster than the speed of light (not on this universe, anyway).Well, the answer is that you can cheat.And that’s what Cloudflare essentially does: it doesn’t merely “cache your content”. Rather, it does so by making copies of your website’s cache to their 250+ data centres across the world. This means that European visitors will not connect to your website in the US. They will just connect to Cloudflare’s nearest data centre in Europe, and retrieve the cached pages from there instead. Since Cloudflare operates in so many different cities, there is a huge percentage of the world’s Internet population that gets local speeds to retrieve your website — as opposed to have to wait for data to patiently cross the Atlantic (twice… once for the request, once for the reply).It’s the equivalent of making copies of your website all over the world. But instead of paying hundreds of web hosting companies across the world to hold a local copy of your website — not to mention the management of this automatic replication every time a cache is flushed — you just use Cloudflare to do everything on your behalf. Automatically, in the background, effortlessly. And for free.Super Page Cache for Cloudflare is just the key to unlock that potential.Now, to be fair, when you sign up to Cloudflare, by default, it caches very little — some JavaScript, some CSS, and, with luck, a few static images. This is the “bare minimum”, or the least common denominator — it will certainly improve things a bit, but not that much. Cloudflare even has their own “official” WordPress plugin, which facilitates the two-way communication between WP and Cloudflare’s servers. Nevertheless, Cloudflare’s own plugin is not really fine-tuned to perfection. It also implements, by default, a “least common denominator” policy — and making sure that, when a WP author/editor publish an article and requires the cache to be cleared (“flushed”), this request is also forwarded to Cloudflare’s network. But “flushing caches” is just one of the hundreds of options given by WP caching plugins. Some plugins, such as W3TC or the WP Fastest Cache plugin, are already “Cloudflare-aware” and can effectively communicate with Cloudflare’s API. Most, however, cannot be bothered to be properly configured: they work, sure, but always using the “bare minimum” performance boost you get from a generic default configuration.As such, considering that there are way too many possible ways to configure WordPress itself — not to mention Cloudflare! — it’s rather obvious that none of that leads to a simple way to pre-generate a “one-size-fits-all” cache configuration.That said, Super Page Cache for Cloudflare is not one of those “one-size-fits-all” solutions, but a plugin with a very reasonable amount of case-by-case configuration, even for the most basic of scenarios. And that is, unfortunately, the reason why so many reviews say “nothing works” or “impossible to configure”. You need to be patient. This is not an entry-level plugin at all: it is a rather sophisticated way of tapping into Cloudflare’s caching potential.But configuring Super Page Cache for Cloudflare is just half the story. You need to configure Cloudflare as well. One doesn’t work without the other. And I have to say that learning to configure Cloudflare’s rule engine so that it works correctly for Super Page Cache for Cloudflare was truly an education: I didn’t realise how little I was actually using from Cloudflare’s free account.It’s not obvious, but once you register with Cloudflare for a free account (or a paid one!), by default, it does not cache most things. You get just CSS and JS caching by default — good if you have insanely huge CSS/JS files — but that’s pretty much it.Why? Well, Cloudflare originally would cache most things — including all static HTML retrieved from one’s own webserver, images and other media, and so forth. Unfortunately, this only worked so long as, on the Web server side, everything is properly prepared for Cloudflare to work well. What happened was that the vast majority of Cloudflare users (again, especially the free ones!) have no clue about how Cloudflare is configured, or why, or what it does. They have only heard that Cloudflare is great for protecting one’s site from remote attacks (true) and that it does some caching (also true). They assume (incorrectly) that there is nothing they need to change on their side. And that inevitably leads to problems — such as dynamic content, generated taking cookies into account, or assuming that certain headers were present, not displaying correctly. A common issue I had with a really basic WP cache plugin was that Cloudflare would sometimes show the mobile page for a desktop user and vice-versa — even though on the WordPress side of things these two cases ought to be handled separately. They were, but… they weren’t always detected based on their headers only. And sometimes Cloudflare would just blindingly serve the last version of the page they had cached, no matter who it was for (it was even possible to “leak” in this way pages requiring authentication…).Over the years, therefore, Cloudflare learned their lesson: stop assuming that people have flawlessly configured servers on their side. Instead, go for the bare minimum that will work even with the worst possible configuration, but which, at least, won’t “break things”. And let so-called “advanced power users” to tweak both configurations (on their local web server and on Cloudflare) to cache whatever can be cached — but with a knowledgeable human being making rational decisions and tinkering with the configuration, not with an “automated” procedure.Super Page Cache for Cloudflare does a neat job on the Web server’s side of things. It can be configured to prepare a ready-to-be-served page cache on disk which will be nicely used by Cloudflare, exactly in the way Cloudflare prefers such content to be received. Super Page Cache for Cloudflare, therefore, is all you need to properly “prepare” everything to be served by Cloudflare — but it means that each site will require its own distinct configuration. There will be common things, of course, but they will not be exactly the same under all circumstances. In my experience, there are certain plugin + theme configurations that will not work with Cloudflare (so all you can do is to water your plants while waiting for something to happen). Most will, but they will also need some human help to properly configure Cloudflare’s page rules.And ultimately there’s where the magic happens. By enabling the Cloudflare rule engine, and making sure that it understands the format that Super Page Cache for Cloudflare uses to write things to disk — and serves them from disk — you can virtually put your whole website on Cloudflare’s cache and serve it from there. With a bit of tinkering, you can do it. But, again, it’s not easy to do so, no matter how “automated” your system is, even though Super Page Cache for Cloudflare includes some of the more obvious configurations that you need to deploy.And woe to any major upgrade, which might just scratch your existing configuration — and you have to start over again!

DALTX Real Estate 15 juni 2024 1 reactie

my blog daltxrealestate.com went from a 1.2-second load time to just 250 milliseconds! That’s incredible! I want to say a huge THANK YOU, ALEX! I was using WP-ROCKET’s paid plan, which crashed my website. Then, Litespeed Cache slowed my TTFB to 2 seconds. WP Fastest Cache didn’t improve my speed at all. But when I tried Super Page Cache for Cloudflare, I jumped out of my chair! GTmetrix showed an A rating andTTFB just 200 milliseconds! Man, your plugin is like a PREMIUM SUPER CLASSY DIAMOND PLAN. Hope you have a fantastic day, Alex!

Mike 15 juni 2024 1 reactie

I followed the instructions carefully and it works perfectly. I want to say thank you to the author for sharing your knowledge. I use this plugin in conjunction with litespeed cache and I am well impressed with the results.
