CDN Rewrite assets URLs with cloudlfare

@vallered I’m glad you like the plugin and hopefully, you will use it in the long run! Regarding the CNAME, note that it applies to optimized/combined CSS/JS by Asset CleanUp from /wp-content/cache/asset-cleanup/.

After checking your DEV website that you provided, there doesn’t seem to be any references to /wp-content/cache/asset-cleanup/ – The reason this feature was added was in case a CDN is used (and the path to the caching directory remains the same (without reference to the CDN), hence you need to supply it in “CDN: Rewrite assets URLs”. Also, consider adding it like this: //www.elementordev.vallered.com.cdn.cloudflare.net (without https:) as it’s more likely it will work if there are references to any Asset CleanUp cached file.

Let me know if this helps and I’ll be happy to further assist you!

Many thanks for your response. The plugin was deactivated tmeporaly, but now it is on again. I made the change (without https:), but I get errors like:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

@vallered It looks like the path to the files was added correctly (you can view the HTML source code and you will see everything looks good).

For instance: https://www.elementordev.vallered.com.cdn.cloudflare.net/wp-content/cache/asset-cleanup/js/item/gag-tracker-v1.5.2-3790070e87a069170fe60340c318e80ffb0c10a5.js – the error is related to the fact that the URL you’re trying to access doesn’t support the SSL protocol. You can read more details about the error if you access the URL in the browser (in Chrome, you can click “Details”).

Are you sure the CNAME is the right one? Note that Asset CleanUp doesn’t do any push of content from the server to the actual CDN (it just replaces the domain name with the one you provided and it’s doing it well). The hosting company / Cloudflare should help you with that.

It is nearly impossible to get any direct support from cloudflare (I tried it, they are working with fully automated answers-))

If I am skipping that, will it have a bigger negative effect on site performance, or is there a way to check if it has any impact in my case at all?

@vallered I’m surprised about Cloudflare slowness in response. I’ve contacted them the other day and they got back to me within 24 hours with a reply. Try other means to contact them. I’d be surprised if they can’t help you.

If by “skipping that” would mean stop using Cloudflare completely, it’s not something I’d recommend unless you have a similar service to replace it. Regarding the CDN, it does have an advantage if your website is accessed globally (not only from the same city/country) as it loads the assets from the closest location where the visitors are located. Moreover, it can reduce bandwidth costs if you have loads of visitors. Here’s a post about CDNs if you want to find out more about it: https://wp-rocket.me/blog/cdn/

by skipping that I only meant not to activate the CDN Rewrite URL option in your plugin

You don’t have any CDN URLs (all assets are pointing locally) for both your live and staging site. If you skip the CDN rewrite URL option, then it won’t do anything, no replacement of the site URL with the CDN one. Once you get a working CDN and you notice that references to CSS/JS files from /wp-content/cache/asset-cleanup/ are not taken from the CDN, only then you can worry about it (e.g. enable it and make tests).
