# Caching/Optimisation Plugin Question

 * Hi,
 * My website has been performing very slow in the last number of months. I am worried
   that I have too many plugins/services that are doing the same thing and are contributing
   to the slow site speed.
 * I have WP-Rocket installed on my website for caching and optimisation purposes–
   Javascript/CSS minification, lazyload images, etc.
 * I also have Wordfence installed for security purposes. And, I use Cloudflare 
   CDN which has been integrated with WP-Rocket according to their setup guidelines.
 * In addition to both of these plugins I have advertisements from Ezoic displayed
   on my website. They have a Site Speed Accelerator application (more info here:[
   links redacted] which they have recommended I switch on to help combat the slow
   site speed issues. They also provide a caching service that I use.
 * Is the combination of plugins/services above potentially causing more harm than
   good?
 * Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Don’t double up on caching/optimization plugins. They’re either duplicating work
   or stepping on each other. If you’re using wp-rocked and Cloudeflare, you don’t
   need another.

 * Hi Steven,
 * Thanks for the quick reply.
 * That makes sense. So keep WP-Rocket and Cloudflare. How about Wordfence? As that
   is more security-related, I am assuming that a combination of WP-Rocket, Cloudflare
   and Wordfence should be a good solution?
 * I thought that with the Ezoic-specific optimization and caching features, that
   they might address issues specific to the advertising program, that would not
   be addressed by WP-Rocket. But I guess WP-Rocket and Cloudflare are already doing
   enough in this regard?
 * Lastly, Cloudflare has been integrated with both WP-Rocket and Ezoic respectively.
   I assume that this would not be causing any issues? Is it advised to have Cloudflare
   integrated with _both_ WP-Rocket _and_ Ezoic?
 * Thanks again for your help.

 * Wordfence is a security plugin; I use it on all my sites. I know nothing about
   Ezoic. You might ask them (or wp-rocket) if the two plugins should be run at 
   the same time.

 * Hi Steven,
 * That’s perfect – thanks for clarifying.
 * All the best
