Hi!
If you have WPO’s cache feature enabled, then you should disable Cloudflare’s caching feature to avoid conflicts. You do not need to disable Cloudflare in its entirety.

They are 2 different options w/ some overlap. WP-Optimize and Cloudflare both offer you improved site performance but they do it in different ways. WP-Optimize gives you better performance through optimizing code, images, database, etc and delivers that through your local server or your cloud/hosting environment. Wp-optimize doesn’t offer a CDN or security features that are offered via a service like Cloudflare. The company behind WP-Optimize does have a security plugin like many others that are WordPress specific like Wordfence.
Cloudflare is a expansive suite of cloud based solutions (think not on ‘your’ server) that offers a myriad of security and performance improvements. It offers everything from a WAF (web application firewall) to a CDN (content distribution network) and then some.
WP-optimize is WordPress specific and Cloudflare can be applied to just about anything from a simple site to an enterprise application.
@evit – all of our sites are behind Cloudflare so we would definitely recommend using it. It’s a great security tool
