Hi @arzack,
You cannot use two cache systems simultaneously. When using this plugin you have to turn off all the caching inside WP Rocket and you can use that plugin for CSS/JS and other static file optimization. Also inside this plugin (3rd screenshot), you need to enable the Disable WP Rocket Page Cache option.
Inside Cloudflare is there is no dedicated mobile caching. The only thing you can do is redirect mobile users to a dedicated site like m.exaple.com if you have something like that. As standing in 2021, almost all websites are responsive so the same webpage is being shown in mobile and desktop but taking advantage of modern CSS, the design will be different.
You need to optimize your website design/code to improve better speed for mobile devices but there is no dedicated cache for just mobile devices. The same page is being provided across the world for all devices.
You can remove the WP Rocket plugin if you want and in its place use plugins like Autoptimize, Shortpixel for CSS/JS/Image optimization. WP Rocket will only provide disk-level cache which means each request needs to be intercepted by your origin server in order to provide the cached content, whereas this plugin will cache your content on Cloudflare CDN (more than 200 cities) and also have a fallback disk-cache for the first requests which is yet to be cached by CF CDN Edge.

You were very clear, thank you.
I had wanted to try leaving the cache for WP Rocket for mobile active and I have to say with a couple of empirical evidence the results were improved (mobile side only), but if you say that you need to enable the Disable WP Rocket Page Cache option, I will so. After all, who knows these things better than you.

Hi @arzack,
Yes, handling cache in two different places is technically impossible as it will lead to many paradox and issues. So, whenever it comes to caching you have to choose a boat for page caching.
Rather than focusing on caching, I would rather suggest you to run a page speed test or a Lighthouse test for your website and see what’s heading to slow mobile load. Improve your site code quality.

I have done several speed tests with both GTmetrix and google Page Speed, beyond a certain threshold I just can’t go, especially on the mobile side. LCP and CLS are 2 parameters that I just can’t improve.
I have done all the optimizations that I am able to do, but beyond that I am not going. I use Storefront with Bookshop child theme maybe the proplema is just the theme …

Hi @arzack,
No matter what a cache plugin claims, LCS, CLS these are not about caching or how fast your page response is. Check this thread for more: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/very-low-google-speedtest-result-with-plugin-active/#post-14019136
