CloudFlare purge everything?

    Does WP Fastest Cache purge “everything” on CloudFlare when the cache is cleared at the site? I see a large number of “purge everything” actions in the audit log on CloudFlare happening about once a week with multiple requests.

    The “Always On” feature of CloudFlare relies on its cache, that’s why I am asking this question.

    Thank you,

    yes, WP Fastest Cache purge “everything” on CloudFlare when the cache is cleared at the site.

    Oh, I had no idea! That is a concern. Will you consider adding a feature to disable that by individually deleting changed files if that is possible, at least in the premium version? Because until CloudFlare updates its entire cache of the site, the Always On feature will not function.

    I have currently disabled WP FC and the premium until I hear from you and see if I want to continue deleting my site’s CloudFlare cached once a week or more.

    you do not have to add the cloudflare integration. you can purge cache via cloudfalre.com manually.

    Oh, that’s good to know. Do I need to purge the CloudFlare cache in its entirety? If I edit a post, the site-based cache will be deleted but CloudFlare copy will remain. When that page is requested, which copy will be served, WP FC or CF copy?

    I was under the impression that CloudFlare integration was necessary. I will disconnect and see what happens.

    CF copy

    OK. Is there a way that single post cache purge be implemented at the WP CF end? In the meantime, I will enable WP FC again and disconnect it from CloudFlare. Until a solution can be found, I will purge CF single post when I edit and change a post on the site.

    I looked around and asked the question on the CloudFlare Community forum. In short order, I got an answer that was comforting. A user replied https://tinyurl.com/y4avygjn and said the Always On feature is different and separate from the regular caching and recently CloudFlare started to use the Internet Archive pages as part of that feature.

    I am back on enabling WP Fastest Cache!
