Then you can use Polish and Mirage, which help with image optimization. If you don't need that, I believe you are perfectly fine with the free plan. I do have an image heavy community. but I'm more concerned about the main page. So I guess I will have to evaluate the option of paying Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASTRAPI Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 You can test the free one and then is very easy to upgrade if you need more speed..... It is also very easy to downgrade if you fill that you didn't get much speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatgroup Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Railgun seemed to slow my site and mirage caused quite a few image load issues (fairly image heavy site) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcdesign Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I tried and bought the pro solution. My site contains almost only pictures and I could not notice any difference at all when I enabled Polish and with Lossy setting. Have tried GTmetrix since yesterday so this feels completely meaningless to pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASTRAPI Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 The free Cloudflare account is good for the most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm struggling with how to optimize CloudFlare for IPB - I'm getting like 4% requests cached and about 10% bandwidth cached. That seems really low to me - is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ77 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I still wish there was a way to run IPB through cloudflare and totally exclude downloads app. The 100MB cloudflare limit destroys what I do with downloads app. My only soulution so far is to avoid cloudflare altogether.

That seems really low to me - is it? Yeap, something is wrong. I am getting 2:1 cached:non-cached requeests and bandwidth and I feel it can be optimized more. First check the TTL of the cache, I think there is a setting that cloudflare can manage it or it can be taken from your webserver settings.

IE: downloads app will be limited in file size per submission to 100MB or less. Not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcdesign Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Someone who has experience with Argo? When testing the page load was faster. The site feels faster overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASTRAPI Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Argo can help for dns but expensive in my opinion :-) Also if most of your users are coming from one country you will not benefit a lot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Forever Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I had some problems with the cloudflare, since at the time of adding new themes, WAF catalogs them as HTML / SQL injection. The only way to resolve these events was to whiten the IPS addresses of the users, but over time it is unfeasible because of the large number of users.

ASTRAPI Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Most of the times using friendly urls (will avoid the = ? and a few characters on the link that may false detected as sql injection attempts) will solve that issue but even if you must disable WAF you will be benefit from other optimizations that they offer and ofcourse from the huge global dns network that they use with 120+ datacenters around the globe Not to mention also the dns changes that are almost instant !
