What is Cloudflare ? How does it help webmasters ?

[tommydamic68]

Mght be something to do with this triple include on your site

</script><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

These are my settings for Cloudflare, which is working out great for me.

Hmm, I should try that "Mirage 2" thing, see what it does.

I tried every combination including the one you have. As soon as I turned off Cloudflare the performance issues went away.

I tried the Mirage 2 option during an early beta, it messed up my images something fierce, not sure if that's ready for prime time.

I have some screen shots of my cloudflare settings here:

I don't have a mirage option- I'm guessing you guys have the paid version of Cloudflare?

Yes it's with their Pro plan or higher I believe. I would love to try the pro features but can't justify the extra $20 a month.

I turned Mirage on, seems fine, but I've not figured out if it is doing anything.

@damoncloudflare - I have turned off Cloudflare completely. I sent a report of my concern via your contact info on cloud flares website with no response. Anyway, it seems the issue causing my site to act buggy/ sluggish was Cloudflare. Here is the original thread of y issue with error codes screen shots - http://xenforo.com/community/threads/site-is-sluggish-buggy.80029/#post-807530

FYI - I had the default Cloudflare settings set that it came with when I began using Cloudflare. I did try to fiddle around with settings to no avail. The only thing I changed on my end was to upgrade two add ons to the most current versions Featured Threads and Xenmediagallery , but I had just back from vacation and really didn't look at the site thoroughly or notice the buggy issues.

I did have one complaint from one member who was having trouble logging in with Chrome and couldn't see items in the editor. Most members use Tapatalk on my forum, so I rarely see site performance issue complaints.

Do you have Rocket Loader on? Did someone in support help?

Note: I have been on vacation for the past three weeks (got back today) & apologize for the delay.

I never had rocket loader on, all default settings from the first time I turned it on, no support never got back to me.

What was the ticket #?

The behavior does sound like Rocket Loader was on, so I would need to check the ticket & the domain.

Based on that, it seems like it's not working.

The ?forcepreloadonly causes Xenforo to redirect. So I just made a simple html test page with two images

It does not load degraded images.

My settings are:

and performance:

Honestly, I sent the issue via my cell phone, perhaps you can find it through my email? Sent it in a convo.

I've opened a support ticket for this. 164456

Great. Someone in support will pick it up for additional troubleshooting.

Replied.

 

[tommydamic68]

Replied.

I starters this thread which has a screen shot of the errors when I had Cloudflare on. I have turned Cloudflare off due to being severely slow and buggy. Rocket loader was never on.

 

[damoncloudflare]

That should go in the support ticket (the representative also did respond to your ticket looking for additional information). This is not something I can personally review in a great deal of detail, unfortunately.

Do you what email they used? Like I said - I relieved nothing from
Support via email.

 

[damoncloudflare]

It was sent to the same email address the ticket was created from.

I'll see if I can nudge someone on the ticket.

 

[tommydamic68]

Thanks. The issue is - I never received a response from Cloudflare support to the email I started the ticket from ( I have 2 emails) so I can't respond them.

 

[damoncloudflare]

That's the thing...we actually did respond & you didn't appear to get the notification. Nothing in your spam folder or anything? Can you try adding support@cloudflare.com to your address book to see if that helps.
