Joomla cache & Cloudflare

Post by Tolomen » Tue May 03, 2022 10:40 am

Hello, guys!

Please help me with perfect Joomla cache settings ...

So, a few days ago I started with Cloudflare which can do all the caching for my site.

But, in Joomla admin there is:

Global Configuration - Cache setting - System Cache

1.) Caching off (disabled)
2.) Conservative caching
3.) Progresive caching
I set: ON - Conservative caching

AND in joomla admin there is plugin “System - Page Cache” I enable it and set:
Use Browser Caching - NO

///

And after that here are my Cloudflare caching settings:

Caching Level - Standard
Browser Cache TTL - 4 hours
Argo Tiered Cache - Enabled

With that settings I have:

Total pages: 91.36k
Served by Cloudflare: 73.26k
Served by Origin: 18.1k
Hit: 70.58h
Miss: 950

///

What do you think about these settings?
Is there any optimization / correction which I can make?

Thank you and regards,
Sina

Hi,
From Cloudflare, did you enable Proxy? I used Cloudflare for most of clients from our company with Conservative caching from Joomla!.
I also use this plugin JCH Optimize https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/jch-optimize/

Thank you for reply ...

So, I disabled System Page Cache Plugin now.

May I ask you why do I have to do this? What is the reason?

That plugin turn your Joomla web site into a static web page. No changes and login is possible.

THANK you, Per Yngve Berg!

So, I disabled System Page Cache Plugin - all other cache settings in Joomla & Cloudflare looks good? ;)
