    I have the same problem with cloudflare not being available fro time to time. Personally I think it is a way for them to advertize their service because the screen you see when this happens is basically a ad.

    I have sort of given up with W3TC because there are way to many settings and variables for it to be practical. What other plugins work with it? what are the best settings? Who knows the variables are endless. I had some problems with my readers reporting frozen content….they only see content on my pages from a few weeks back and looks like the blog is not updating…This could be something that happened with a setting that changed after a update but still…

    If somebody ever makes a blog post about how to get this plugin to work right they will have a winner because everywhere you look on here you will see people that are confused and bewildered with all the settings in this plugin.

    @rhand Member.
    I did what Willie said to do. I turned off cloudflare by pausing it. your site still works it just bypasses cloudflare. I Turned off all settings on W3TC and then turned them on one at a time starting with Cloudflare, Page cache, then Browser cache and finally Minify. I messed with the settings of each before I turned on the next. Turns out Minify works great in default.
    Finally when I got W3TC to a good place without it messing with my RSS , widgets or images I turned cloudflare back on to CDN only and let it do its thing for a day or so before testing the site.

    W3TC settings are on for Page cache, Browser cache, minify and cloudflare. On Cloudflare the settings are CDN only and then turn on Rocket Loader and let that run for a bit to see if it helps or hurts.
    Basically the page optimization settings are all in W3TC and Cloudflare is only a hub. (unless you add rocket loader)

    Additional plugins
    I also use a lazy loader plugin so my content below the fold does not load until you scroll down to it and that helps.
    Revision Control plugin keeps my saved content less cluttered.
    WP-DBManager plug in backs up the site and optimizes my data.

    Other than this forum..This is the posts that got me started and where I got all the info I needed. In this post, you’ll find everything you need to know, if you have been wanting to speed up WordPress sites that you own.

    Thanks guys I think I have it.
    Google PageSpeed Insights gave me a 97 and Yslow gave me an A too. last test was 1.10 seconds. I used the most basic settings one at a time in W3TC until I got it the best it could be. I used auto minify with default settings in W3TC. Object and Database caching turned off.
    I turned on cloudflare again first to CDN only and then tested rocket ship to see if it would work for me. I’m still figuring out if Rocket ship is right for me but no problems yet.
    I emailed my subscribers and asked to evaluate the site and they are happy with the results.

    Oh Unrelated. I also noticed that my social share buttons on my pages was taking some time to show share count so I turned the counter off. I dont need to show how many people shared my content and I can see that info elsewhere.

    I set cloudflare to CDN only for now while I mess with W3TC. Is that what you mean?
    I set minify on W3TC now and so far I’m down to 2.75 seconds (sometimes 3)
    I started with Godaddy and will stay the time I paid for but the plan has been to move when traffic picks up. I have made a note on my calendar to check out Bluehost when my hosting with Godaddy comes to a end in Jan.

    Happy Monday.
    I turned off minify in W3TC but I enabled it in Cloudflare.
    went with disk basic on W3TC
    Turned off database cache on W3TC(I’m self hosted on Godaddy so not sure if I need this or not)

    On cloudflare I set >Individual performance settings< to aggressive.
    On cloudflare >Rocket Loader< is set to off. I use Rafflecopter and had some problems with the widget not showing up when I had Rocket Loader set to automatic.
    cloudflare Auto Minify is on for all three options.

    I’ll purge both W3TC and Cloudflare and later I’ll see what I get. here http://gtmetrix.com/
    looks like this is going to be trial and error. lol

    Okay looks like I fixed it. There was a problem with a post that was cached with a problematic code. for some reason feedburner made me validate my feed again. I fixed it but the cashed version kept popping up so after figuring out how to purge my cache I was able to get the RSS feed to work again. Just so happened the problem with the post and cloudshare coincided.

    Okay I was looking for sprintf() and should have been Ctrl+ F = sprintf
    I found it. It is on line 28 but what I see here is this ( ‘sprintf’, $args )
    $args must relate to “Too few arguments”
    I dont know what to add here or even why so…Huston…are you receiving me?

    I went to theme-head.php looked for function name sprintf() and it is not there. sooo now what? is this a bug from the update?

    If it helps at all I’m having problems with SEO ultimate plug in too. I think…so I’ll add my gripe to this.
    My blog is building URL’s out of tags and categories. My site = giveawaygator.com If I add the Tag “clothing” under the category Baby then I will generate URLs
    http://www.giveawaygator.com/clothing/baby/
    http://www.giveawaygator.com/clothing/
    http://www.giveawaygator.com/baby/

    because no such URL was made by me, Google will crawl that URL and then mark it as 404 not found. I’m not sure how to turn this part of SEO ultimate off or if this is even where the problem starts from but all my tags and categories when combined on a post create URLs of their own. Considering I often use two or three categories and ten Tags per post the number of broken links adds up quite a bit. I’m looking at the broken links in Google webmaster tools and the graph they give you looks like a steady 45 degree angle as the number just keep growing.
