With cloudflare enabled (pro plan) cannot click mobile menu button also the performance dropped about 20 on lighthouse. From 90’s to 70’s

Disabled cloudflare plugin. I have been using W3 total cache free version and wp meteor and it is easily outperforming cloudflare. I had everything enabled on cloudflare pro. Right now it feels like I wasted $25.

Can you take the cf-cache-status to see if it’s cached on Cloudflare? Or if it’s dynamic/miss/bypass?

You can read more about Cloudflare’s Default Cache Behavior · Cloudflare Cache (CDN) to understand Cloudflare Cache Behavior.

You can also follow the instructions Optimize site speed.

That domain is not currently using Cloudflare. Its name servers point to springhosting, and SecurityTrails has no record of that site ever being on Cloudflare.

No, I had it setup from July 16th through the 8th. I went back to my regular hosting because lighthouse tests were showing me a decrease in speed. I used all the recommended optimization settings.

Ok. Well, at this point there’s nothing anybody can do, as there’s nothing to look at regarding Cloudflare performance.

If you set the Name Servers back to Cloudflare, you could leave the website DNS record DNS Only for the site, and set up a demo site to show the issue. Or proxy the main site, then let us know when it’s ready for someone to take a look at.
