Cloudflare to serve dynamic contents from CDN starting with WordPress websites

Re: Cloudflare to serve dynamic contents from CDN starting with WordPress websites
#2This looks really promising! Gonna try it out on a couple of sites.
Wonder how it'll behave in the worst case scenario where:
1. WP cache is cleared
2. Someone initiates a complete crawl of the site (for SEO or whatever reasons)
This would usually put a heavy load on the server. Wonder if APO would help and keep serving the old cached pages, or if it would try to rebuild the cache itself, thus adding to the problem.

#3I'm surprised there aren't more comments about this. It is a brilliantly positioned service that takes some features that were previously only available at the paid levels ($20 and up) and bundles them into a $5 add-on for free users.
I have been working with WordPress-to-static on Cloudflare Workers for a while and am very curious to see how this solution performs.

My understanding is that, if you use their plugin, they only rebuild the cache when you add new content.
Any crawlers would be interacting only with the cached version of your site, hosted on the nearest edge location.

Ah yes, you'd presumably disable any existing caching plugin and solely rely on CF.
