What it does well
Where it falls short
App for Cloudflare® provides a straightforward way to leverage Cloudflare's features from within WordPress. It is a practical tool for users looking to improve their site's performance and security.
digitalpoint's own description of App for Cloudflare®, lightly tidied.
Unlock advanced Cloudflare features without being a network administrator or developer. Works with any Cloudflare plan (including Free), no Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) subscription needed.
Directly cache HTML
App for Cloudflare® can automatically cache your HTML pages at Cloudflare data centers in 330+ cities. “Standard” WordPress caching plugins can’t escape the laws of physics because information can’t travel faster than the speed of light (even if the page is cached, the cache exists on your physical origin server, which can be over 20,000 km from an end user). Caching content in Cloudflare data centers makes your website faster by putting your website cache closer to end-users (95% of the world’s population is within 50ms of a Cloudflare data center).
This can be done without Cloudflare Workers or even a Page Rule (done with a single Cache Rule on Cloudflare’s side, and custom code in the plugin).
Preload JavaScript and CSS
Speed your site up by using the option that instructs browsers to preload JavaScript and CSS used to render the page being viewed. Can be used on its own, or in conjunction with Cloudflare’s Early Hints function.
Manage all Cloudflare settings
All Cloudflare settings can be changed directly within your WordPress admin area.
Includes Easy config function that will optimally set your Cloudflare zone settings for WordPress.
Fixes Cloudflare Flexible SSL redirect loops
Automatically fixes HTTPS redirect loops when using Cloudflare’s Flexible SSL option (traffic between user and Cloudflare is encrypted, but traffic between Cloudflare and origin server is not).
Handles user IP addresses
Automatically handles the situation where your web server is passing Cloudflare IP addresses rather than the IP address of the user making the request.
Turnstile CAPTCHA
Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA support for registration, login, password reset, comment forms, WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, Elementor Pro, HTML Forms, MetForm and/or WPForms. Single-click setup (done transparently via API call).
