Cloudflare compatibility

    Hello,
    I have just installed and set up a group that contains two simple HTML adverts. The group is set up to split the ads 50:50.
    However when I visit my site, only one of those ads is ever shown on the page I visit. I assume this is due to the fact that I’m using Cloudflare with my site and therefore the initial output HTML is cached and Advanced Ads is reliant on PHP for ad generation/output?
    Is there a way that I can have the ad “dynamically” shown for the site via JS as opposed to relying on PHP for the ad generation, therefore bypassing “page caching” issues?

    Hi Will Stocks,

    thanks for reaching out.

    You are correct assuming that we use PHP to deliver ads.

    Advanced Ads Pro comes with Cache Busting, a feature that loads ads dynamically on cached websites. It works with Cloudflare and any other caching systems.

    Please let me know if you need anything else.

    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    OK, that’s good to know – thank you. I will bear this in mind.
    For the time being, I’ve implemented a vanilla js script to rotate the two ad units I have (they had equal weighting) and will consider Advanced Ads Pro as I expand my creatives, as I’d like to be able to ideally tie together ads displayed on a particular page (for instance, in a “sponsored” page/post, I’d like all ad units to show for the company that sponsored that page/post)
    Thanks!
    Will

    I am not sure if this is just a comment or a question. If you want to display ads that belong together on multiple placements then maybe the tutorial about roadblock ads might help.

    Best regards,

    Thanks Thomas! That definitely looks like what I’d plan to do! I will definitely be considering Advanced Ads Pro in the near future in that case.
    Thanks
    Will
