Understanding Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) with WordPress

• Try with AutoOptimize plugin and official Cloudflare for WordPress
• Even better, try out the Cloudflare APO for WordPress

FYI Cloudflare APO is not fully compatible with AutoOptimize. The only option to use both of them together is to trigger Cloudflare Cache purge (manually or via API) once AO applies optimisations.
