There’s a lot of back and forth in this community about using Cloudflare. Some people say it works just fine without any problems and others warn that the sky will fall if they use it. Either way, most of this info is very dated, from 2 years to nearly a decade ago. Personally, I’m using Cloudflar…

[изображение] Richard - Communiteq: With respect to caching, I’d say it’s a not a “yay” or “nay” but more like a “meh” :+1: (We need an option to react/like part of a post; how to do it, I don’t have a clue — but then there wouldn’t be reason to write nill-posts like this… :wink: )

[изображение] Richard - Communiteq: With respect to caching, I’d say it’s a not a “yay” or “nay” but more like a “meh”: You specifically mention performance. In my quote, I specifically mention bandwidth saving. These are two different things, and different people will weight them differentl…

Hey Richard, the Communiteq link was vague. The message, essentially don’t use Cloudflare. Instead, why not say, if you use Cloudflare, use these settings? Spell it out. I think that’s what oopsyscoops is after as well. Some standard besides, don’t use it. If you turn off performance and allow cach…

[изображение] Jay Pfaffman: Because that seems to change from time to time. I’m constantly fighting to maintain instructions that help people make mailgun works, for example. I can respect that right there. I only recently started using Cloudflare for our Wordpress site, and running APO make…

What I miss in this discussion is the differentiation on WHAT Cloudflare features generate problems. All I have read so far unanimously mentions Cloudflare only as a CDN but as it stands today, Cloudflare is the company and also the name for their PLATFORM of different functionalities (SASE, Networ…

[изображение] epskpsdsc: All I have read so far unanimously mentions Cloudflare only as a CDN And that’s what the discussion is about. It’s not about any of their other products. It’s just about whether Discourse works in your web browser. When the discussion started, they mostly had just th…

It is only ever implied that this discussion is about the CDN part of the Cloudflare platform. Users currently installing don’t know the history that Cloudflare 10 years ago only (beyond a few other functions) had its CDN. So if this thread should stand to discourage Discourse Admins from enabling …

[изображение] epskpsdsc: So if this thread should stand to discourage Discourse Admins from enabling CDN functionality in Cloudflare, then you should spell it out clearly, that was my whole point. I don’t know how anyone could think that the discussion is about anything other than the CDN. Th…

Let’s be clear here. Cloudflare isn’t a CDN. They call a feature of their service Cloudflare CDN, but at a fundamental level that’s not what it does. The two elements which usually intersect with Discourse are their DNS (fine, good even) and their reverse proxy - the orange cloud while using their …
