Hi. I need to use following 4 page rules but there is a limit of using 3 page rules only in basic account. Can anyone guide me if these could be restructured to make 3 rules to serve the purpose (specifically if first 2 rules could be merged to make one)?
Post a screenshot of the actual page rules.
I also want to use “preview=true” to bypass cache but no page rule is left
So you basically want to cache everything except for the two “wp” URLs and “preview” URLs?
You could possibly merge the two “wp” URLs into *domain.com/wp-*
however I believe Wordpress uses that prefix also for other paths, which would skip the cache in that way too.
Exactly, you are on same point. This will also bypass wp-includes, wp-content, etc.
When I remove “wp-login.php” page rule, I get error while logging-in to dashboard “Cookies are not active and browser not supported”. Is there a way to remove that error? This way I will get a page rule free to use for “preview”
Maybe @domjh, @cbrandt, or @sdayman have a nifty Wordpress trick up their sleeve but in this case I’d say you’ll likely have to purchase additional page rules, if you want that to accomplish that particular configuration.
I hope so
Hi @fahad52
I’m afraid to say that I have a separate rule for each on the sites where I use cache everything!
I seem to remember @cbrandt having a solution to something similar, somewhere… But I can’t find it! Maybe I just made it up
No worries. Let me wait for @cbrandt to reply
The page rules I use for my “mostly static content” WordPress sites under free plan are:
Of course you could forgo the canonical redirect page rule (#1 above) and add one for *preview*
. Since I don’t add too much content too often, I’d rather spend my third rule with the canonical redirect (and then purge the preview URL whenever I need to refresh it).
Please note that the second page rule should NOT have a “Cache Level: Bypass” setting. Cache will be bypassed for any page that would have been cached by the third (“cache everything”) page rule, because PR #2 comes before PR #3, and only one page rule is triggered by any given URL.
By not adding the “bypass cache” setting, you prevent Cloudflare from bypassing cache down the path /wp-content/
, where most static files are located by default.
You can live without the Preview bypass…if you get your editing right the first time. If that post/page hasn’t been cached, you’ll get a new version…once.
I use WP Fastest Cache with their CDN integration. Anytime I update a page or post, it purges the entire cache. It’s not optimal, but it’s free. If it’s really worth your time, you can get an additional 5 Page Rules for $5/month.
