 * Good morning, we would like support on the plugin as we have two problems.
 * 1) We use the cloudflare plugin but your plugin says to deactivate it, this is
   a problem as we would like to purchase the premium version for automatic uploading
   of static pages to Cloudflare pages and we cannot manually deactivate the cloudflare
   plugin every time, how can you solve this.
 * 2) we have seen that static pages are generated as .html and this requires a 
   complete rewriting of the urls with tens of thousands of redirects as we have
   over 50,000 live pages, how can we avoid this?
 * Thanks in advance for the answers.

 * Hey [@micheleficara](https://wordpress.org/support/users/micheleficara/),
 * thanks for reaching out!
   **Cloudflare Plugin**
 * You won’t need the Cloudflare plugin anymore when going static – once you serve
   your static files from Cloudflare Pages you get all the optimizations from the
   APO plugin automatically.
 * However, if you absolutely need it for another reason, you can whitelist the 
   plugin in Simply Static -> Settings -> Debug -> Whitelist Plugins – add the slug
   of the plugin, save the settings and it gets excluded from our Diagnostics.
 * **URLs**
 * You won’t need to touch anything – the files indeed end with .html, but the URL
   will still be mywebsite.com/page/ and not mywebsite.com/page/index.html
 * Servers automatically convert the .html ending to the correct URL structure.
