what is the benefit for logged in users?

Hi @cleverschooling,
first of all, when using the plugin you don’t have to ticket cache everything inside Cloudflare. The plugin will take care of that on its own.

Moreover, if you are using a website where every page and post is dynamic with no static pages for a non-logged-in user then this plugin will not help as it won’t be able to cache anything and all pages will be bypassed and served from the origin server.

I was reading about AJAX and ESI. Just wanted to see if your plugin can help with enabling CloudFlare with using any of such methods while bypassing logged in users. so are you saying free CloudFlare is helpless for logged in users?

Hi @cleverschooling,
This plugin will automatically bypass caching your first HTML request for logged-in users along with also bypassing the admin-ajax.php requests.

When using Cloudflare for logged-in users, only the static files will be cached by Cloudflare but the first HTML request will be served by your origin server.

Thank you for the information.
So if the logged in user visited for example first lesson, moved to second lesson then went back to first, the first lesson page will in the second visit be served from caching. is that right ?
if yes, for how long will it be served in the cashing ? during a session , for specific TTL or what rules it ?

I am trying to understand, if i can get any benefit for my users (logged in to LMS)

Hi @cleverschooling,

– No. For logged-in users there is no caching. Pages will always be served from the origin server. Whereas if a non-loggedin user visited these lessons then they will get cached webpages.

if yes, for how long will it be served in the cashing ? during a session , for specific TTL or what rules it ?

– FOr logged-in user, your first request of a page (i.e. the HTML content) will never be served via cache as the user is logged-in. Only the static files like CSS, JS, images will be served via cache.

Pages will only be served from cache for non logged-in users.

– No you can’t. If you are looking to improve your logged-in user’s performance, spend money in a good server hosted nearest to your users location as for logged-in users pages needs to be passed via the WP system and not go though any cache. So, a faster & optimized server will help you.
