Cloudflare
200,000+ active installs · Rated 3.5/5 · Updated October 5, 2026
Official Cloudflare plugin that connects a WordPress site to a Cloudflare zone. It purges Cloudflare's cache when posts and comments change, can turn on Automatic Platform Optimization for edge HTML caching, and sends HTTP/2 preload hints. It suits sites already on Cloudflare. Its limit is that edge HTML caching needs the separately paid APO add-on.
Pros
- Purges Cloudflare cache when content changes
- Free plugin that works with Cloudflare's free plan
- Optional APO integration for edge HTML caching
Cons
- APO HTML caching costs extra beyond the free plan
- Useful only when the domain already uses Cloudflare
- Only useful for domains served through Cloudflare
