**Automatic Platform Optimization (APO)**

Speed up your WordPress site by up to 300% with Cloudflare’s Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) plugin. APO allows Cloudflare to serve your entire WordPress site from our edge network of over 250+ data centers worldwide ensuring fast & reliable performance for your visitors no matter where they are.

Optimizing your WordPress site with multiple plugins can be overwhelming. Take your WordPress site’s performance to the next level by switching to a single plugin for CDN, intelligent caching, and other key WordPress optimizations with Cloudflare (APO). Visit our [announcement blog](https://blog.cloudflare.com/automatic-platform-optimizations-starting-with-wordpress/) to learn more about APO.

**What makes APO different from other caching plugins?**

The key differentiating factor between Cloudflare APO and other traditional page caching and CDN solutions is its ability to directly cache static HTML at Cloudflare’s edge. Every other plugin and CDN will cache your static assets (images, javascript, CSS), but none help you cache the actual content on your site (the HTML) using a massive edge network like Cloudflare’s.

APO intelligently caches your HTML pages and will automatically purge content from the cache that you update, so users will always see the latest content without compromising the performance of pages that haven't been recently updated

**What you get with Cloudflare APO**

APO is a $5 add-on with Cloudflare’s free plan and comes with an unlimited amount of subdomains. With APO you also get to leverage many of the other benefits of Cloudflare such as **Free DNS, Free Automated SSL Certificates, Free DDoS Mitigation, and more.** APO is free for all paid plan users so if you have Cloudflare Pro or Business already you can just turn it on. You can compare all our plans [here](https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/?utm_source=promo&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=g421o-pl-apo-wordpress-plans).

**Protect your WordPress site with Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall (WAF)**

Cloudflare’s WAF is available on all our [paid plans](https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/?utm_source=promo&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=g421o-pl-apo-wordpress-plans) and comes with built-in rulesets, specifically tailored to mitigate WordPress threats and vulnerabilities. These security rules are regularly updated by our team of experts. At the flip of a switch, you’ll have your WAF up and running without any difficult adjustments to your site. With over 26 million internet properties under our protection, you can sleep easy knowing Cloudflare has your back.

= Additional features =

* Header rewrite to prevent a redirect loop when Cloudflare’s Universal SSL is enabled

* Change Cloudflare settings from within the plugin itself without needing to navigate to the cloudflare.com dashboard. You can change settings for cache purge, security level, Always Online, and image optimization

* View analytics such as total visitors, bandwidth saved, and threats blocked

* Support for [HTTP2/Server Push](https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-support-for-http-2-server-push-2/)

= Getting Started =

**Setting up Cloudflare APO**

If you’re currently utilizing Cloudflare’s free plan you can add APO to your plan for just $5/month. If you are on Cloudflare’s Pro Plan Cloudflare APO is already included in your subscription. We recommend you start with our [APO developer documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/automatic-platform-optimization/get-started) which includes all the information you need to get APO up and running.

**How to check if APO is working**
Using [Uptrends](https://www.uptrends.com/tools/http-response-header-check) you can verify if Cloudflare APO is working by checking to see if APO response headers are present. You can follow along in this [video](https://youtu.be/XJ0f5SawEFI?t=318).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need a Cloudflare account to use the plugin? =

Yes, on install and activation of the plugin, first time users will be asked to enter their email address (used to sign-up for an account at cloudflare.com) and either an API Token or their API key. This is needed to support all the features offered by the plugin.

= What settings are applied when I click "Apply Default Settings" in Cloudflare's WordPress plugin? =

 You can review the recommended settings that are applied [here](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/227342487).

= What do I do if Cloudflare does not detect the WordPress plugin for use with APO (Automatic Platform Optimization) =

 APO works best when the WordPress plugin is used. We do not recommend using APO without the plugin installed. If you face issues with Cloudflare detecting the plugin then follow these steps:
 1. Go to Cloudflare WordPress plugin
 2. Disable APO in the card
 3. Enable APO in the card (will set proper settings for APO feature)
 4. Clear any server cache used via other plugins (WP Rocket being an example)
 5. Verify that your origin starts serving response header “cf-edge-cache: cache,platform=wordpress”

 You can read more about APO with WordPress [here](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049822312)

= Does the plugin work if I have Varnish enabled? =

Yes, Cloudflare works with, and helps speed up your site even more, if you have Varnish enabled.
