 * Hi Everyone,
 * I am going through my plugins and eliminating the ones that I really don’t need,
   and when I got to the CloudFlare plugin, I wanted to post here to find out if
   I truly need this plugin installed.
 * So,… do I ?
 * From what I can tell, it’s value is in the IP address’ from commenters, and database
   cleanup, (which I already do)
 * Will deactivating this plugin have any adverse effects on my site?
 * I’m already using CloudFlare, W3TC, and Amazon CloudFront, so is this plugin 
   really needed?
 * Thanks for any feedback you can give me

 * Not really an issue if you’re already using the W3TC plugin w/CloudFlare. The
   CF plugin is not required if you’re using CloudFlare with W3TC already.

 * Glad to help. Only caveat is we’re not sure if the W3TC plugin has all of our
   new ips in it just yet (we contacted them). But you don’t need both as a regular
   course of business:)
