Getting X, Cloudflare and WP Rocket to play nice together

[hypnorich]

I understand the limitations of the support you might be able to provide but wanted to get your take on things.

I have Cloudflare and WP Rocket and on the WP Rocket support page they say that they can work nicely hand in hand with Cloudflare. I am wondering though how that would then fit in with X. I know you do some minifcation through the theme so was wondering if there were any known issues in getting all 3 to work together.

I am looking to get my site running as fast as possible so if you have any recommendations as to what to use with X I would be very appreciative

Hi Richard,

Thanks for reaching out.

The WP Rocket is a CloudFlare feature, there is is a WP Rocket plugin but it still uses Cloudflare. And as recommendation, you must disable the minification on both because it can cause issues for already minified files. And that’s something we can’t control over the theme, like how they handle the files.

Some plugin offers exclusion of script from minification, some has no issues with minification at all. Example https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-x-theme-js-from-minifying/

Hence, I recommend disabling minification from your CF or WP Rocket, then only use them to served the resources that are minified by a plugin (eg. WP Fastest cache or similar).

Thanks!
