 * Hi, for 2 weeks when I use performance plugins like WP Fastest Cache, Autooptimize
   or any other which is providing caching service the speed decreases to 0. I had
   a very performance with the WP Fastest cache before, I don’t know what happened.
   I use Cloudflare.
 * Can you tell how to fix it? I really want to use WP Fastest cache and Cloudflare
   like before. Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fperformance-plugins-slowing-down%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Something must have happened two weeks ago. Any idea what it was?
    “speed decreases
   to 0” – literally? What exactly happens? Have you tried the usual troubleshooting
   steps – e.g. switch to a 20-something theme, disable all plugins, run Health 
   Check? I don’t use Autooptimize but my understanding is Cloudflare can do much
   of the same stuff – minimize css, javascript, and html for example – and doing
   it twice can break things. Have you tried a Cloudflare cache-everything page 
   rule as an alternative – or addition – to WPFC? For what it’s worth, your site
   seems quick to me but webpagetest.org disagrees. TTFB seems to be the main culprit–
   from my limited understanding that’s a usually a hosting issue.

 * The domain was renewed, but I already asked the host for any changes or issues
   made by them, they said everything is fine. Then they updated the newest version
   of PHP and cleared the cache. Still the same…
 * What I noticed is that the problem is with the cache as a whole even if the plugin
   is deactivated. When I clear the Cloudflare cache the speed increases, but on
   the second visit drops to 0. Literally 0.

 * I found the problem, an extension of AMP plugin – Progressive Web App. Thank 
   you for your help!
