 * Hi!
    I tried to connect WP Fastest Cache to Cloudflare according to your tips
   but I got this error message.
 * Invalid Format for X-Author-Key Header
 * *I followed every single step on the article.

 * Any idea how to solve this?

 * It is not recommended to use the Global API Key. Even Cloudflare warns:
 * > Protect this key like a password!
 * We have 20+ domains at Cloudflare, however, only one has WordPress and needs 
   the plugin.

 * actually I changed the system but I did not release a new version. if you download
   the following version, you can use the API Token instead of global api key.
