How can you set Cloudflare's setting for WordPress

Cloudflare gives you a variety of benefits in terms of security and performance. It's however not entirely compatible with WordPress. Let's look in depth into the options of Cloudflare to discover the most efficient solutions to use on your WordPress website.

SSL

Cloudflare provides four modes for encryption using SSL/TLS: Full, Off Flexible, and Full (Strict).

• Off - No encryption.
• Flexible is only used for security purposes between your web browser in addition to Cloudflare.
• Complete End-to-end encryption that allows the use of a self-signed certificate to the server that is used.
• Ful (Strict) * End-to end encryption that needs an unpaid origin certificate issued through Cloudflare as well as an authentic certification issued by an certified CA (certificate authoritative). We recommend using SSL by using the full (Strict) SSL mode to provide the highest level of security.

It is possible to make a Cloudflare origin certificate and then install it on your origin server. If your host does not possess free SSL certificates, and you want to install an Cloudflare source certificate it allows you to utilize the full (Strict) SSL mode.

This feature lets you use Cloudflare's Flexible SSL, while making sure that you're using Cloudflare Full (Strict) SSL for subdomains that are managed by the .

You must ensure that you're using HTTPS.

Its "width" parameter can be altered to generate various sizes of thumbnails instantly without the need for additional servers, which is where the data comes from.

Secure HTTP/3 connections are benefited from a more efficient handshake process and results in lower connections, and faster times. If HTTP/3 is turned on in the dashboard of the Cloudflare dashboard, customers who qualify can take advantage of HTTP/3 to connect to Cloudflare servers.

Furthermore, Cloudflare's Zero RRT Connection Resumption feature can improve load times for those who had previously been able to connect connection to your site.

Page Rules

This rule applies to URLs starting with www.brianonwp.com. Notice the inclusion of an asterisk symbol which permits you to make matches using wildcards. Think of the asterisk as "anything which is present". Under the URL pattern, you can see this page rule is configured to 301 redirect all matching requests to https://brianonwp.com/$1, where "$1" refers to the "first wildcard" in the matching pattern.

With a page rule like this one, requests to www.brianli.com/specific-page/ will be redirected to brianli.com/specific-page/.
