What three cloudflare page rules to use?

[WoodiE]

It seems CloudFlare only allows three page rules on free accounts. For someone wanting to setup a Xenforo site to use CloudFlare, what rules would you create?

Thanks!

Force Cache /attachments/*
Force Cache /proxy.php*
Force Cache /css.php*

We use https://xfrocks.com/resources/bd-cache.8/ so we don't need the css one. This is what we use for Proxy:



We dont't have anything setup for attachments.

Unless you do many "exclusions", Rocket<exp>loader will cause you issues.

Just curious, is Force Cache = Cache Everything? I see no Force Cache option in page rules.

Force Cache = Cache Everything?

Yes, this is what I use:



I added the trailing slash for the attachments rule to make it compatible with WMTech Attachment Manager.

For those of us on the 20 dollar plan with more page rules, what is everyone using? I just added the attachment one to all our sites.

 

[Amin Sabet]

I'm on the $20/month plan, but those are the only ones I use.

EDIT: Just added 1 more:

 

[Brent W]

Yea we use that one for all our HTTPS sites as well.

The rocket loader in Auto have the best Load time i can get.



Server Location -------------------- LT without rules --- Load Time with 3 rules --- Load time with rocket loader+3 rules
New York City -------------------------- 1.53s ------------------------ 1.52s ------------------------- 1.08s
Stockholm - sweden ------------------- 2.14s ------------------------ 2.15s ------------------------- 1.60s

LT* - Load Time
For this test i used the https://tools.pingdom.com/ and the best time from 3 tests.

So the Rocket Loader have a big impact in performance, but it doesn't work ok with xenforo, maybe cloudflare fix this or xenforo.

And the 3 rules for me doesnt have any impact on performance, so cloudflare its already making the cache for that rules?

I'm not as concerned about performance with Page Rules as I am concerned about Security.
