    Hello,

    I’ve quoted a Q&A from the plugins FAQ below. Can you please confirm my assumption that Cloudflare still performs Auto Minification of HTML, CSS, JS when they’re ticked in their File Optimisation settings?

    Does this plugin also perform CSS and Javascript optimizations?

    No, this is a caching plugin. To perform other page optimizations you can use it together with other performance plugins.

    The purpose of this plugin is to get you the lowest possible response times (TTFB) by using Cloudflare as a page caching system, while maintaining full control of the cache.

    Yes they do that but neither I personally use those settings nor I recommend anyone using them because the level of modification CF will provide is super basic whereas with a plugin like Autoptimize you will get super high-quality minification.
    But if you want to check them you can.

    Good to know and thanks for your suggestion. In the process of testing your plugin, I was trying to understand what your script is doing without reading code and going through the FAQs. I misunderstood this bit and thought that the plugin was bypassing some CLOUDFLARE settings.

    Thank you for taking time to answer my question. Hope you’re staying safe and connected.

    Hi @mrrobot2017,
    I am good. Hope you and your family are safe. The plugin only modifies 2 settings inside CF Dashboard.
    1. Regarding the caching it sets the settings to respect header.
    2. If you are using the page rule mode it added a cache everything page rule for your site.

    That’s it. You can still play around with other CF settings if you want.
