    Would suggest relocating the fallback cache directory to wp-content/cache/wp-cloudflare-page-cache/* instead of wp-content/wp-cloudflare-super-page-cache/* like it’s now.

    Some potential advantages of this:
    a) better/more consistent folder organization, by following the de-facto standard of other major cache/optimization plugins like wp-fastest-cache and wp-rocket that write their generated stuff into /cache.
    b) implicit compatibility with other plugins that scan for threats but by default may exclude directories known for containing generated/tmp content like /cache.
    c) keep special R/W permissions contained within a specialized /cache folder

    Hi @alx359,
    Personally I like this idea and personally I would also love to see it like that but the problem is backward compatibility as if someone is running our current plugin there already is wp-content/wp-cloudflare-super-page-cache/*. Now adding wp-content/cache/wp-cloudflare-page-cache/* means there is just another unnecessary folder in the server with lots of files. Most people won’t bother to FTP and delete the old folder to keep the server clean.

    So, basically we have to add a script for the upgrade procedure to delete wp-content/wp-cloudflare-super-page-cache/* from the server and then recreate wp-content/cache/wp-cloudflare-page-cache/* and basically regenerate the whole fallback cache again. This will add extra code to the plugin just for changing folder structure.

    Moreover, if anyone changes the permission of the cache/ folder we might not have write permission in it. These are the issues comes in my mind right out of the back. But I suppose @salvatorefresta have more points to add on this matter.

    But again your points are valid.
