Forked: CloudFlare Compatibility?

A possible new issue just occurred to me - do you know how this might interact with CloudFlare? CloudFlare says they work with WP cache plugins, but I wonder if it is refined enough to handle caches for multiple devices? Will CloudFlare interaction have to be handled in the ac-plugin code? Using the old technique of not caching mobile devices seems to work with CloudFlare.

I do know CloudFlare has become an important issue since at least some hosting companies (Blue Host, for example) are now pushing the use of CloudFlare for sites they host.

We'll need to confirm compatibility with this plugin.

One of us WebSharks will come back to this soon and confirm, but if anyone else has tested this, please us know. Thanks!

A simple test on one of my test sites seems to work as expected, but since I cleared CloudFlare's caches, it might be a while before they are rebuilt.

After some more playing, it Cloudflare does seem to deliver QC built pages per device. I don't know how to tell, for sure, if CloudFlare is delivering its own cached versions of the pages or not - but if they are, they are somehow differentiating devices. Kind of magic.

Any way to add the salt name to the QC message added to the end of the cached version? My not be important, but would be informative.

Great! Thanks for the feedback. We'll test this further very soon.

This should automatically appear before the URL in the Source Code Notes that Quick Cache leaves. Your salt should appear just as specified by your plugin; e.g. iphones http://example.com.

Sorry - I missed seeing that there already - you keep a step ahead!

@weavertheme :-) Thanks, great! ~ a step ahead. lol Not usually, but ☕ helps.

@jaswsinc Is there anything to do for this issue? I reread the thread, but I'm not clear if this can be closed now.

[jaswrks]

I've seen a few reports which indicate there is no trouble between QC and CloudFlare. So I'd say yes. However, I haven't actually tested the QC+CloudFlare combination myself yet, so I can't say absolutely that there is no issue.

OK, thanks. I'll change the tag on this to "needs testing".
