How Cloudflare WordPress speed optimization works

Cached from Cloudflare's global network

Directly cache HTML

APO intelligently caches your HTML pages, so users will always see the latest content without compromising the performance of pages that haven’t been recently updated.

Boost SEO Rankings with Caching Dynamic Content

Cloudflare can serve the entire website from our global network to make a site's time to first byte (TTFB) both fast and consistent.

"If your WordPress site uses a traditional CDN that only caches CSS, JS, and images, upgrading to Cloudflare’s WordPress Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) is a no-brainer and will help you stay competitive with modern JAMstack and static sites that live on the edge by default."
