    Hi Dev,

    I am using Shift8 CDN with cloudflare(Cloudflare for SSL), and also as well known that cloudflare is also a type of CDN.
    So my doubt is here : Whether Shift8 CDN can be used with Cloudflare or not?
    what is the best combination as per your thoughts?

    Hello!

    You reached out to us directly and we resolved this question over email. I will paste the response here for others to see.

    Yes Cloudflare should work with Shift8 CDN. Here’s how :

    [1] Request for site -> [2] Shift8CDN -> [3] CloudFlare CDN -> [4] your webserver

    For requets for your site (#1) , it will the majority of the time hit #2. When the cache is stale and our CDN fetches a new copy, it will hit cloudflare (#3).

    Using #2 and #3 in the description above means even less requests are actually hitting #4 (your web server). It should offer an improvement but you could experiment with our CDN settings in the plugin settings to set whether media, JS/CSS files are to be routed through our CDN.

    You can use tools.pingdom.com to test speed before and after every change to see for yourself as well.

    Thanks!
