Getting ?swcfpc=1 In All My Site’s URLs

  • Hello,

    I recently installed Super Page Cache for Cloudflare and already had the Cloudflare plugin installed some time ago. Both plugins are installed. Should I remove the other Cloudflare plugin?

    All my URLs are showing the ?swcfpc=1 at the end such as…

    https://internettvdotcom.com/?swcfpc=1

    Also, PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix both failed to scan the page load.

    PageSpeed Insights doesn’t fully scan page load speed…
    Getting “Errored Document Request”

    GTmetrix…

    Analysis Error
The page returned an error: 403 Forbidden
GTmetrix tried to access the page, but your server has denied access. Your server or application may be blocking GTmetrix or it requires a login.

    I’m just about ready to deactivate the plug unless someone has a solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Update…

    I searched for my site and inner pages from my incognito web browser and don’t see the ?swcfpc=1 extension.

    Can someone explain what is happening and whether or not there is an issue? Again, I am also having an issue with testing my page load speed now. wasn’t like this before installing Super Page Cache for Cloudflare and setting things up.

    I followed the setup instructions here…

    Ok, so I found what the string means after the end of my site’s URLs…

    What is the “swcfpc” variable I see at each internal link when I am logged in?
    It is a cache breaker. It allows you, while logged in, to bypass Cloudflare’s cache for pages that might be cached.

    I’m just hoping Google and other search engines don’t index my WordPress Posts with URLs ending in ?swcfpc=1.

    Hi,
    1. When using this plug-in make sure you have removed the default Cloudflare plugin from your website.
    2. You have disabled APO in Cloudflare Dashboard
    3. That ?swcfpc=1 is a cache buster query parameters for logged in users. If you don’t want to see that in the plugin settings > other tab > scroll down
    You will see a option to remove cache buster query parameters along with an implementation guide. Check the implementation guide first, add all the rules and then enable the option inside the plugin settings.
