Litespeed & WP Rocket

Hi @miketica ,
you see a lower score ’cause GTMetrix didn’t see leverage browser caching rules for static contents. There is an option to activate it or you can still use WP Rocket for this.

Litespeed server has a limit: doesn’t support expr=value for header rules (as Apache does) so if you need to use the option Overwrite the cache-control header for WordPress’s pages using web server rules to make cloudflare page cache working and the backend pages are cached too, please disable the plugin.

I am working on an option that uses Cloudflare workers to manipulate cache behavior, instead of response headers. The only drawback is that workers are only free of charge up to 100,000 requests per day.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply.

Per GTMetrix, the average number of requests per page is 88, so 100,000 requests should give you roughly 1100 visits per day, if I my calculations are correct. This is more than enough for most local websites/businesses. Higher traffic websites should be able to pay for additional requests, depending on the cost? I think I read about the possibility of enabling some caps as well, I am not sure if spend caps or caps on the number of requests? I am not sure if bot traffic affects these numbers.

Regarding the performance for the example website above, I am not interested in scores, but purely in load times. It seems that using WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache almost doubles my load time on a LTE connection.

I am not sure if I need or do not need to use the Overwrite the cache-control header.

Thanks again.

Hi,
the purpose of this plugin is using Cloudflare as html page caching system for dynamic websites like WordPress, so to test its efficiency you have to read the TTFB of the html page only.

The total loading times depends on many other factors like browser caching, critical rendering path, etc..

Regarding your calculation, you are right. I’m already testing this solution and I will release it when becomes stable

Hi,

Regarding the loading speed: the test was done with WP Cloudflare Super Cache enabled vs disabled on a WP Rocket optimized site on a Litespeed server. Most of the optimizations where already done.

Browser cache should not affect first time visitors’ actual loading speed. So, one other thing that could make the page load slower with WP Cloudflare Super Cache enabled is WP Rocket preload feature, is it used by WP Cloudflare Super Cache? CCSS was already generated, by WP Rocket as well.

I see you point with testing the TTFB, I am just trying to see how I can use WP Cloudflare Super Cache to get a better overall loading speed, not just the TTFB.

Anyway, thanks for the awesome support and the great plugin.

On https://www.brokerbet.it/ I use the recommended stack I wrote on FAQ section and these are the Pagespeed Insight results:

Mobile (91): https://ibb.co/vvKpKHy

Desktop (100): https://ibb.co/QmG12Ls

Try this ??

I am still trying to find the best settings ??
Nice work with brokerbet.it but that is a very simple website.

For the website above parcelux.com , it has Woocommerce, WPML, tracking scripts and a lot more pictures.

I’ll keep testing, but, so far, there is not a clear winner ??
