At 21:33 you said we have to check if the Cloudflare CDN has been enabled, but unfortionatly this option is not available now, what to do?

[@kananpatel5141]

while creating page rules you put http instead of https. my site has https certificate. then what should i use http or https for creating page rules ?

[@pammie1412]

Hi Nayyar, great video, I'm learning alot!!! I do have a question.. On the Page Rules part, where you did the homepage rule. you didn't put in the https, even though a certificate is on the page, you put in http.. can I ask why? I'm just not understanding that part? Thanks so much for your help!

[@sawaiz_khan]

same question?

[@premiumottstore]

Awesome video. I'm watching the complete playlist

[@plamenyordanov8091]

Amazing series! I think we can all agree that everything is put very neatly and the instructions are very well organized! Great job, man. Keep up the good work!

[@abrahamrhys6269]

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@51meghachauhan27]

Thanks buddy! This is everything i asked from god yesterday 🔥🎉

[@jenskramer4043]

Hello, at 11:55, why are you using an url-pattern for instead of , when your site is using https-certificate? Aren't the rules then only created for request on this url? I'm using and forcing https on my site. which url-pattern do I need to use?

[@Ajmal_Hossain]

Your videos are always detailed. Though they need patient to see full video, but provides clear valuable information. Obviously to get and know the best, one should need to be patient. Thanks a lot. I theme security is the next video to watch. Thanks again.

[@geekie1]

Thanks for the video. In reviewing ways to improve my site speed I stumbled across your video. While I went through the process of setting up an account with CloudFlare, I hadn't reviewed the many steps within CloudFlare to fully take advantage of the service. Thanks again

[@ebazart4637]

Thank you very much for your great support, brother Niyyar. Thanks to your help, I'm about to create my first website.👍

[@ebazart4637]

Brother Nayyar 🙏

[@sheldonstclair371]

Nayyar is good. i developed a membership site using wordpress, elementor and UMP. if you are a techy then you will benefit from nayyar's videos. well, i did

[@ryansymons8915]

I don't know if this info is updated.. I will have to search around... but I have seen significant improvements! Thank you

[@prasshantberry2726]

After your first tutorial, my GTMatrix somehow improved. But, On the last minutes of this second video, you asked to disable "minify," and when I did it, my GT matrix was dropping so low, instead of going up. Why this happened?

[@kisankant7120]

Same issue.. if you solved it. Plz tell me.

[@51meghachauhan27]

Same issue

[@DuduTNiyukuri]

Amazing. U just saved my site...! Thank you very muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch

[@BernardEbuehi]

A very good and detailed video my question is apart from disable the minify in w3 total cache, is there anything else to disable in the cache plugging after activating

[@NaveedAli-rb3jn]

i am following you from when i started developing my site. with what you did in this tutorial my GTX rating dropped from E to F

[@khalidelgazzar]

Really great 🎉 thank you. Watched it like 2 or 3 years ago and i come back to review

Hi Nayyar :) Thanks for the tutorials! If I have changed my admin url (wp-admin) in the iThemes Security plugin. Must I put the new url in that rule 15:03?

[@meilindadsouza8279]

Thank you so much Nayyar, my GT metric change drastically from C to A 100% after following your tutorial, however, I still don't know how to add the subdomain into cloudflare and do all the page settings, I hope you have another tutorial for this. Anyway thanks again you are the best.

[@ericksturm5217]

I found that Cloudflare does not issue the SSL Certificate right away. It can take up to 24hours, and if you do not bypass the A record your site will be down. You need to click the cloud on the DNS tab from orange to grey to bypass the proxy until the SSL is issues.

[@toastbrot_17]

I didn‘t have the performance category on my WordPress side. Do you know why and how I can solve it?

[@subrung.online]

if i have changed the wp-admin instated of any thing else for securty should i use that for cloudfare input?

[@sumitsagaonkar]

I am using "WP Super Cache" do I have to make any changes in the setting for this cache tool???? since I have the Cloudflare now activated for my website

[@gerishgwatsima5876]

Hi thank you for a wonderful tutorial. How do you do this if you have your domain hosted elsewhere that is on a different hosting company and the nameserver slots are already taken by the nameservers pointing to your current hosting server

[@Ishman_10]

FSD CDN OPTION NOT SHOWING UNDER CURRENT VERSION OF W3 CACHE PLUG-IN , ASKING TO UPGRADE. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR THIS? 19:25

[@gerrardsantos9825]

Hi, Great tutorial. There is a reason why you put http instead https on page rules? you said if you have an SSL (https) website put http - should I edit the page rules I created to https or remain it http? Thank you!

[@rockysingh9583]

great tutorial , but i have a problem in my wordpress dashboard that free CDN option is not showing and using a2hosting + partial cloudfare

[@omarafique]

In gtmetrix i have serve scaled images grade F im using short pixels paid version and it shows all optimised. Leverage Browser caching is E(56) i have setup w3 total cache as you've guided in previous video. Opting Minify in W3 total crashes my product page

[@MrThresher7]

[@oh_its_joe]

Hi Nayyar - WHAT AN AMAZING SERIES !! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I have a question !! I have a ListingPro website im using.. is it ok for me to use Cloudflare? meaning it wont mess up my website.

[@simplicity_music]

So relaxing tutorial, keep doing your thing brother! 10/10!

[@rajshreechandak2906]

[@pellekarlsson152]

Great video! You say end of the video authorize it again but you did not hit reauthorize button or did I misunderstand you?

[@danasugu1767]

Thanks for the tutorial. What about Add an MX record for your root domain so that mail can reach @yourdomain.com adresses? 6:52 shows that you too have the warning that the MX record is not found for your root domain.

[@PreetiSharma-sb5qk]

Thank you so much Sheikh. When I opt to disable minify option in w3 the images do not get compressed

[@hannanbaig7888]

Are the content and steps of this video still relevant in October 2019?

[@frangipani.19]

Agar cloudflare hosting ke saath hi purchase kiya ho with free ssl certificate ....is it still mandatory to do this set up and change the dns server names?? Also can this setup disturb an alrady built website due to the changes ?

[@smartworld4164]

You are amazing! Thank you for coming on youtube and sharing your such a great knowledge!

[@MrMilfcounter]

What if our wordpress login is different do we still have to use wp-admin structure for rules ?

[@oyewoleolufemi839]

Okay. Thank you for your great video. But after applying the w3 cache and cloudflear there is no improvement in my speed test especially the mobile. So what else can I do?

[@memesbody3573]

Hey, need help! After making all settings as you said. But now when I am adding new images in media files and then using them on homepage. They all are not loading on the website homepage pages. Please help, how to make them visible on homepage ?

[@NayyarShaikh]

If it's not working for you or if it's causing some problems, I would recommend you to not do any settings of cloudflare. I mean just leave this don't follow the steps

[@nirmitrajdhan2330]

Hi Nayyar ! Please make a video of how to setup cloud flare option in our cPanel There is an option of it in cPanel, in spite of using it from website it’s good to use from cPanel Thanks

[@Nobel0]

i have the same thing too. Maybe cloudflare is not good anymore (or perhaps only will be better if you bought the pro or something

[@ownislah]

Hi, mine also decreased. Did you got any solution?

[@robertmensah2002]

Please when I receive message from my own website hosted by siteground (but the domain is managed by godaddy) to my gmail account, google says that my site is not trusted because the message is not authenticated. Can you help me to resolve that?

[@Sunil_Krishnan]

My website already has SSL enabled from the Hosting provider. If I add my website to the Cloudflare will it clash the SSLcertificate?

[@smarthostpro5892]

Yes, my Bluehost hosting team also suggested in Free Cloudflare CDN the SSL will be deactivated and they ask me to buy Premium to enable ssl always to be activated

[@Alsterino]

Hi Nayyar, great vid as always. I can't use the FSD CDN option, I have to pay 99$ lol. Any advice? Thank you

[@srinfotechgsraju1837]

I have seen your two videos on W3 Total Cache and Cloudflare settings. Good Videos, indeed. After changing the settings as per your videos, the front end of my site is showing blank. I Have Sent you an email regarding this. Kindly have it resolved. Thank you.

[@indiafacts4354]

I have ssl certificate already provided by hosting provider Do i need to use cloudflare cdn for my blog??

[@ddrci88]

Hi 2 days ago cloudflare shared own wp caching plugin but it’s cost 5 bucks so I found out Super cloudflare page caching plugin does the same job you may want to make a video .

[@pellekarlsson152]

Nayyar shall I use wp-admin or If I use hide login url instead of using mydomaim.com/wp-admin to mydomain.com/test ?

[@mohamadsaliqueshaikh4784]

Brother Nayyar, I am using siteground hosting for now and curious about cloudflare. Shall I continue using siteground or move to cloudflare for better performance? Thank you for your guidance.

[@NayyarShaikh]

Use SiteGround, no need to use Cloudflare

[@ajmersingh7838]

Hey thank you for the easy explanation, but i have one question. I use autoptimise plugin instead of w3 cache because i am using godaddy managed hosting and w3 cache is not available for me. Please help.

[@speedmatters6561]

Use wp-rocket

[@Nobel0]

Hi, thank you sir. Please, i gone through all the processes here, but when i used cloudflare the performance DECREASES A LOT. Before i was using W3 total cache along with wp rocket and Autoptimize plugins

[@davidisiolu7665]

please is there a setting under cloudfare to redirect all request from http to https?

[@souvikganguly4292]

[@cryptotab2090]

[@tatahchi4545]

How can one use gzip with cloud flare? I am using siteground but my domain was registered somewhere else.

[@pellekarlsson152]

Is there any speed differences to use total cache and cloudflare or only cloudflare?

[@xaxisyaxis7556]

Im using iThemes Security plugin for website security.... Should i enable cloudflare security setting ??

No, iThemew is enough

[@smobeen]

Great tutorial and tutor brother, you are awesome.

[@cricup2336]

which web hosting plan you are using on this tutorial shared web hosting or cloud hosting??

[@userstrategist]

Appreciate your work. But you can be more specific when you explain a service like Cloud Flare. CloudFlare service does mask your IP and other information , which you should go deeper into. A detailed guide will be much appreciated. Maybe next time after you play around with CloudFlare .

[@EfrataTampubolon]

Hi, I don't know if you still check this tutorial regularly. I followed your first tutorial and the second one now. On the last minutes of this video, you asked to disable "minify," and when I did it, my GT matrix was dropping so low, instead of going up. Can you explain it? Thank you again for your great tutorial :)

The same happened with me.

Very good tutorial! My GTMatrix scores increase but page load time also increase, can teacher teach us how to reduce page load time?

Hey, i had siteground’s name servers in namecheap. I changed them to cloudflare’s as you said. But now my hosting is asking me to change them again. What should i do?

I would recommend you to wait for some time and after that clear browser cache then everything should be alright

And what if convertkit is asking for changing nameservers, can i change the cloudflare ones? 😩

Excellent tutorial Sir. I wish I'd found it before. I set up cloudflare for my website and it all seems good from their side, but when going to my actual site it didn't show properly. It seems as if the CSS and java has gone and now the site crash I believe. I see all types of messages saying I can visit my site. Any solution?

[@pellekarlsson152]

Great video! but how do I optimize images I can't find any plugins who works with cloudflare do you know any?

[@SunilDasETS]

Hi Nayar, I am using godaddy domain and hosting from other service provider. I assigned the name server of the hosting provider into godaddy. How can i use cloudflare, because we have to provide cloudflare name server into godaddy. Please guide me.

[@babu-oh8ss]

Domain -> cloudflare->host. Cloudflare works like a proxy host. You need to provide the nameservers which your domain pointing to, which in this case is cloudflare's nameserver. As you link cloudflare to your actual hosting provider, so you don't need to provide their nameservers.

[@Nobel0]

did u put the (*) when u did the rules in cloudflare ?

[@rash4636]

Not sure is this video relavent in 2020. I have installed w3 total cache and Gmetrix score reduced. Later i completed cloudflare setup and Gmetrix score reduced to 65%. So I Deactivated the w3 total cache, surprisingly Gmetrix score increased to 81%. I really didn't understand whether W3 total cache speed up the website or cloudflare speed up the website. Even before these two the site score was 90%.

[@ibloggerr2640]

In the Cloudflare page rule setting, for SSL sites, the setting should be * or Http://*. i.e we have to remove " s "
