    In this tutorial it mentions both manual setup in a WordPress site and plugin. Which way is recommended? are there any limitations on the plugin?
    Thanks!

  • Can you be more specific as to ‘which’ tutorial you are talking about?

    Sure, sorry I somehow missed posting the link https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-setup-cloudflare-free-cdn-in-wordpress

    Ah I see. Well their Method 1 assumes that you use a shared hosting provider for hosting your website that would support ‘1 click install’ via cPanel for Cloudflare. There are other ways of hosting your website which would not allow for such things. Their Method 2 is what most customers of ours do given they don’t use cPanel or shared hosting providers.

    as far as “are there any limitations on the plugin?” The plugin is widely supported across providers and WP versions. The plugin itself does not let you control every aspect of Cloudflare, but presents a subset of likely more relevant controls and actions you can perform in your WP site instead of needing to go to our dashboard. It also helps with avoiding SSL loops and purging static assets when you do things like update your theme.

    I hope that helps!
