Apache + Cloudflare vs Apache + nginx + Cloudflare

[VBX Co]

We are moving servers and in doing so going from cPanel to Plesk.

The default web server setup in Plesk puts nginx in front of Apache, and whilst we don’t have a problem with this, we’re just wondering if it is necessary with Cloudflare already at the front end?

If we will see some benefit from having nginx we’ll leave it in place, but if not we may as well configure Apache as the web server and take nginx out of the equation.

Anyone got experience of these two options and noticed a difference?

Thanks

You definitely don't need Nginx in front of Apache unless you must use Apache for some reason and you are doing some advanced things like using Nginx as a proxy to route requests between multiple Apache servers. Using Nginx as a proxy to a single web server is just silly and gives you one more thing to manage/possibly go wrong.

Nginx is much better than Apache imo, so if possible, I'd just get rid of Apache and use Nginx.

In plesk, you have the possibility to use only nginx with php
