Bummer! This plugin has great potential. Unfortunately, it appears to be abandoned by Cloudflare. No support, no maintenance, no new features added in a long time, and is not keeping up with the latest releases of WordPress.

Not sure why the reviews here are negative. It’s a little bit of work to setup, but for $5/month it provides a very noticeable speedup.
(I already use Cloudflare’s free tier for all my non-wordpress websites, but this is the first time I’ve paid them for something and so far seems worth it.)
Lets you use a very cheap VPS and then make everything fast at the edge, so you probably end up saving money overall.
The plugin UI looks a little dilapidated so I would probably give 4 stars, but giving 5 to counteract the other weirdly low reviews.

The plugin doesn’t have many options interesting unless you have a Cloudflare premium plan to use APO. That looks like to be the most interesting feature of it.
It would be at least useful if it had integration with Turnstile to properly apply on website.

I have installed this plugin and then I subscribed to the Cloudflare APO offer. This saved me a lot of money and energy because normally without cloudflare APO, i would have been forced to move my website from germany to the USA.
So, now everything is working like a charm Javascript minification. I have only 1 JS file left for my entire wordpress installation.
The cookies are still there and it returns the right ones. I don’t know how they succeed in this black magic.
this plugin is better than super cache for cloudflare because when you use super cache for cloudflare, cookies are stripped from http headers. Also, when you are logged in APO still caches it while super cache for cloudflare bypass it.
You don’t need to use cloudflare rules along with this plugin. If you activate APO, cloudflare applies all the settings for you. you don’t need touch anything.
so from what I understand, you must only use the features from cloudflare like minification and cache from cloudflare. Uninstall wp super cache or any other cache and uninstall autoptimize. Let cloudflare manage the minification and cache of your website.

If I paid for the ‘APO’, well, I’m not on the ‘Free plan’, do you agree?
Honestly, I feel completely offended.
I don’t recommend Cloudflare’s ‘APO’, you’re on your own.

O plugin funciona muito bem, otimiza de forma simples e funcional. Recomendo bastante este plugin, utilizando unicamente como plugin de cache para n?o haver conflitos. O único trabalho que você terá é vincular sua conta da cloudflare com o plugin, colando a chave api.
Ele acelera sem corromper seu site. Acredito que estas avalia??es negativas é porque possuiam mais de 1 plugin de cache ativo, algum plugin que entrou em conflito com o da clouflare, dentre outros fatores.
Recomendo fortemente este plugin e se quiser melhorar ainda mais seu desempenho, pague 5 dolares por mês e ative Automatic Platform Optimization. Vale a pena o investimento no clouflare.

I have no issue with plugin yet. Work as expected and I needed it for APO only. Otherwise, I don’t see a use considering every thing is managed from the CF dashboard. However, I wish they can option for CF Turnstile to add it on the forms (login) on the site…

The free Cloudflare plugin is great! It’s an extremely fast and easy way to hook up their WordPress automatic cache management rules. This is essential if you’re updating/publishing content. The manual “Purge Cache” option is also handy if you need to do a sitewide purge.
I’ve used this plugin for years on all of our sites along with APO. I also recommend it to all of our clients.

I want to start by saying that I love Cloudflare. Its one of the most innovative companies in the world and the services are top notch. Highly recommend, and I will continue to be a customer for a very long time.
But this plugin is not it. If you’re reading this, you’ve been warned.
I like to think I’m a semi competent wordpress user, but this plugin made me feel like I mentally sat on a cactus.
It is a pain in the ass and will cause so many problems that will have you searching the desert for what could have possibly broken your website, only to find that this plugin sticks its fingers in so many unnecessary things and walks away spot free because the issues won’t show in your debug logs.
If you want to use APO just activate from the web console and save yourself from the coma you’re about to send yourself into.
On the plus side, I learned how to debug some complicated issues and nearly reverse engineer wordpress… so thanks for that.

This plugin is one of the worst plugins I’ve ever been in. Very complicated to understand, not for everyone. Have read the other negative comments here and I have to agree completely. This plugin does not work straight out of the box, far too many intricacies, incomprehensible, yes completely useless with many ifs and buts. Steer clear is my word and try something else.

Simply put, DON’T risk installing this plugin.
Even after uninstalling plugin and restoring site via backup, the Cloudflare APO plugin has left its mark. Lots of issues, but main issue is Elementor page editor no longer works. Zero support from Cloudflare. Elementor isn’t able to assist.

Downloaded the plugin, installed it, retrieved global api from Cloudflare (located in your CF Profile – top right of screen profile > api tokens), then a few configuration choices and bam – working!
Works very well and had decreased server load and page load times.
If you are experiencing issues check you do not have any plugins installed which are conflicting with the CF APO plugin….disable all and re-enable one at a time to diagnose.

Salut CF people,
After deep diving into this plugin on complex WP website with custom post types and non-standard URL endpoints, I finally managed it to work correctly. There was some inconsistent issue with stale cache, but upgrade to latest WordPress version magically fixed it, so I guess the stale content bug is somewhere ‘in transition’ between this plugin and WP core as well as possibly other things such as wp rocket/autoptimize or object cache. After all it works just fine with that stack at the moment.
Version 4.11.0 (Cloudflare Pro plan), WP 6.0.2

Hi,
On the CloudFlare > Speed tab > Automatic Platform Optimization for WordPress section;
Written:
Note: The WordPress plugin was not detected on cosmeticium.com.
I installed official plugin, but Cloudflare can not detected it. Maybe I should write new API. But there is no any API interface on panel of plugin. I deleted the plugin and after I reinstall again, but it not ask API. Probably remember old API, so no ask again. How can I logout account on WordPress plugin?
Automatic Platform Optimization not working.

The plugin normally works, but when it doesn’t, good luck with getting support from Cloudflare.
There are occasional issues with APO (not clearing the cache on post update, caching incorrectly, etc.) in new versions of the plugin. In fact, most new versions of the plugin have had pretty serious bugs (plugin-specific, nothing wrong with the Cloudflare CDN/WAF).
Issues are never answered by anyone from Cloudflare.
It’s a shame because the Cloudflare tech is great, it generally works really well. But the Cloudflare WP Plugin is not up to the standards of the rest of the stack.

You need to understand how Cloudflare works, but when configured right, it works great. A few things to note:
1. APO does not play nice with Siteground.
2. It’s annoying, but the Cloudflare plugin does not seem to invalidate the cache for all page changes. We are in the habit of manually clearing the cache after updates.
A recommendation to the Cloudflare team if you read this:
1. Put an indicator in the top admin bar that shows the last time the cache was cleared for a page, or for the whole site. It is hard to tell if the CF plugin cleared a page.
2. I beg you, please put a button to clear the cache in the top menu bar. I feel rage whenever I go digging into the settings to purge the cache. If the plugin cleared the cache more often after updates, this wouldn’t be an issue, but it doesn’t, especially with the Oxygen framework.

Even with the plugin enabled, I needed to manually purge cache all the time.
Recently it just stopped working completely (load icon from main content box loads forever on plugin settings page) and upon investigating an error-500 when using post.php, this error happened:

<p class=””>Got an email just now that the plugin has updated, so I disabled EWWW and SWIS Performance and reinstalled it to test it out… sure enough the SAME issue going on 4 years now… you make a post and pages do not update.. you have to manually purge the cache after every post update. I can test this in the period of 3 minutes.. it is broken. </p>

<p class=””>Cloudflare support blames my plugins which are bare minimum. THere are tons of posts about this issue on their forum but they get closed out after no activity for a few days with no response from cloudflare.. APO seems like an abandoned product. </p>

There is a link in the plugin for a “Global API” and when you click it there is no API to be found. There used to be but it is now gone. The plugin cannot be connected to Cloudflare.

Hi, I used cloudflare several months. The speed improvement was fantastic.
But I uninstalled it. Reason are massive and different login problems of my users.
Spent a lot of time trying to fix the problem. You have to gather all the information together. Conclusion: Cloudflare is a high-high-tech machine that is too complex to use.
If the most important thing no longer works, users get their service, then something is wrong. I am frustrated.
