 * I had WP Total Cache (WPTC) running until now.
 * i just upgraded cloudflare to a PRO-Plan and installed their official WP Plugin:
   [https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/cloudflare/](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/cloudflare/)
 * I would appreciate your opinion, should i now deinstall WPTC?
    is there a benefit
   or harm by leaving both installed and activated?
 * thakns!

 * Its hard to give a perfect answer as it depends on what features of WPTC you 
   have enabled and other aspects of your WP setup. Please take everything I say
   as a general suggestion and not hard fact given I don’t know your setup.
 * In general we would recommend against having multiple edge caches enabled. It
   looks like WPTC does have its own edge caching, but I don’t know if it can be
   disabled.
 * Otherwise if you are just using the plugin alone, I wouldn’t expect there to 
   be issues. You will need to be aware that you have both a server side cache with
   WPTC and an edge cache with Cloudflare, so cache issues could be due to one or
   the other.
 * If you decide to use APO ( [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049822312-Understanding-Automatic-Platform-Optimization-APO-with-WordPress](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049822312-Understanding-Automatic-Platform-Optimization-APO-with-WordPress))
   which is available for free in the pro plan, then after enabling please purge
   all of your server side caching, so that APO can work properly. I don’t think
   we have positively said WPTC and CF don’t have any issues, but I wouldn’t expect
   there to be anything that would be fundamentally incompatible between the two.
