What the author says it does
What this plugin can do for you
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWANhxoDxFI]
Automatic Platform Optimization (APO)
Speed up your WordPress site by up to 300% with Cloudflare’s Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) plugin. APO allows Cloudflare to serve your entire WordPress site from our edge network of over 250+ data centers worldwide ensuring fast & reliable performance for your visitors no matter where they are.
Optimizing your WordPress site with multiple plugins can be overwhelming. Take your WordPress site’s performance to the next level by switching to a single plugin for CDN, intelligent caching, and other key WordPress optimizations with Cloudflare (APO). Visit our announcement blog to learn more about APO.
What makes APO different from other caching plugins?
The key differentiating factor between Cloudflare APO and other traditional page caching and CDN solutions is its ability to directly cache static HTML at Cloudflare’s edge. Every other plugin and CDN will cache your static assets (images, javascript, CSS), but none help you cache the actual content on your site (the HTML) using a massive edge network like Cloudflare’s.
APO intelligently caches your HTML pages and will automatically purge content from the cache that you update, so users will always see the latest content without compromising the performance of pages that haven’t been recently updated
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Questions the author answers
Do I need a Cloudflare account to use the plugin?
Yes, on install and activation of the plugin, first time users will be asked to enter their email address (used to sign-up for an account at cloudflare.com) and either an API Token or their API key. This is needed to support all the features offered by the plugin.
What settings are applied when I click “Apply Default Settings” in Cloudflare’s WordPress plugin?
You can review the recommended settings that are applied here.
What do I do if Cloudflare does not detect the WordPress plugin for use with APO (Automatic Platform Optimization)
APO works best when the WordPress plugin is used. We do not recommend using APO without the plugin installed. If you face issues with Cloudflare detecting the plugin then follow these steps:
1. Go to Cloudflare WordPress plugin
2. Disable APO in the card
3. Enable APO in the card (will set proper settings for APO feature)
4. Clear any server cache used via other plugins (WP Rocket being an example)
Does the plugin work if I have Varnish enabled?
Yes, Cloudflare works with, and helps speed up your site even more, if you have Varnish enabled.
Latest changelog entry
Fixed
- Trashing a published post now purges the post’s public URL from the Cloudflare cache, also when a trashed post with the same slug already exists.
- Failed connections to the Cloudflare API now show the reason instead of a generic “Request error”, without PHP warnings.
- PHP 8.1+ deprecation notices when a request has empty or missing input.
- Activating the plugin on an unsupported WordPress version now deactivates it again with a notice.
Changed
- Requires WordPress 6.7 or newer, as the plugin now supports the five latest major WordPress versions.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
