We won’t go into it, as it’s not important right now. There’s a whole process that goes on behind the scenes here. As a result, metrics like Time to First Byte (TTFB) and First Contentful Paint (FCP) may improve. This mechanism removes unnecessary trips to the origin server. The benefit of using it is that your HTML can be cached and served from Cloudflare’s edge network. This service caches dynamic content with the help of Cloudflare Workers. Next, let’s talk about what APO actually does. That’s why you can use them simultaneously, as long as you configure NitroPack and Cloudflare to work together. īoth services help with site speed but do so in entirely different ways. NitroPack and APO don’t do the same thing. To start, let’s clear up the biggest misconception on the topic: Just, i keep a balance, keep everybody reasonably happy.People sometimes get confused about how NitroPack compares to Cloudflare’s Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) service. Id rather leave some room for getting hacked and attacked rather than torture people. I mean, it sounda like something which is more likely to pick up regular users as bots, and then torture them with neverending cloudflare loading pages, captchas and anal probes. Anyway my HTML sites have no optimization plugins or anything.Īnyway but ill just leave the defaults in Cloudflare for everything, just i feel this is the best way to avoid any weird conflicts and problems.īot fight mode sounds like an asshole, haha. And my HTML sites dont need no optimizaton, theyre super fast as it is. The optimization stuff, well, my wordpress sites have a cache plugin.i may also use some modules from the Jetpack plugin to optimize for speed. But thats how Cloudflare set it by default.
My SSL in cloudflare is set to Full on all of my sites. Whats special about Cloudflare's HTTPS Everywhere? So i figure i already have HTTPS everywhere on my websites.
But i do have code in all my sites to always redirect to HTTPS. I have no idea what HTTPS Everywhere does. The browsers show my site as encrypted, the universe is happy. I dont see why i should torture myself, like, what, remove the SSL that my hosting gives me in order to use Cloudflares? It just sounds like a mine field to me. Not really sure if I should change anything else.īut i already have SSL from my hosting provider. I pretty much left everything on Default, and I just enabled Auto Minify. Okay, there's some stuff I found looking around. HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Enforce web security policy for your website.įull - Encrypts end-to-end, using a self signed certificate on the server TLS 1.3Enable the latest version of the TLS protocol for improved security and performance.Īutomatic HTTPS RewritesAutomatic HTTPS Rewrites helps fix mixed content by changing “http” to “https” for all resources or links on your web site that can be served with HTTPS.
Browsers will continue to show “http” in the address bar, not “https”. Opportunistic EncryptionOpportunistic Encryption allows browsers to benefit from the improved performance of HTTP/2 by letting them know that your site is available over an encrypted connection.
Always Online serves limited copies of web pages to users instead of errors when your server is unreachable. Keep your website online for visitors when your origin server is unavailable. Increased caching can speed up page load time. During this period, the browser loads the files from its local cache, speeding up page loads.Ĭaching LevelDetermine how much of your website’s static content you want Cloudflare to cache. Browser Cache TTLDetermine the length of time Cloudflare instructs a visitor’s browser to cache files.
