Performance Insights

More and more people are using Cloudflare (CF) to protect their website and improve performance - me included. I want to set up cache rules that cache HTML as well as static files, but I need to know whether that page changes or not. There is the option to add an API key to the "retail" version of NitroPack to connect to CF so that pages updated on the site tell CF to purge that page and re-cache. Can you make this setting available for users?

WP Engine enables OPcache by default, but WordPress Tools → Site Health reports Opcode Cache as "not enabled" because WP Engine’s security settings prevent opcache_get_status() from returning the expected status. Since OPcache is enabled and managed by WP Engine, could WP Engine suppress or replace WordPress’s opcode_cache Site Health test using the site_status_tests filter? Ideally, Site Health would report that OPcache is enabled and managed by WP Engine rather than displaying a false negative. Also, since this is more of a general hosting platform issue than a Performance Insights feature request, it may be worth considering a general Hosting Platform board for feedback and requests related to WP Engine's hosting environment.

We use RankMath for our client sites and implement llms.txt files for them. We need to reach out to WP Engine support for every site to get an NGINX rule added to allow the virtual llms.txt file. It'd be great for this file to be allowed by default like robots.txt is. With AI being everywhere, it seems like llms.txt isn't going anywhere and will only be used more and more.

Add notification on account level similar to the site level notifcation.

The goal is to get as much content cached in Cloudflare as possible. This benefits clients by having fast globally distributed websites. This benefits WPengine by having cloudflare take nearly all of the traffic and reduces the origin server resource usage. However, there are ample opportunities where Wordpress is misconfigured (plugins) or custom code is not correctly configured to set request headers. Those need to be identified and addressed. Most clients have NO insight into what requests are cached or not becuase WPengine's Cloudflare is effectily secret data (except for the dashboard and detailed metric rollups). Cloudflare's API can produce the top 20 urls that were MISS or BYPASS and having that reported means it can be adressed and clients and WPengine benefits. Having worked with dozend of WP sites, there are misconfigurations due to 3rd party plugins all the time, needlessly wasting hosting resources that could be solved with Cloudflare HIT caching.

As someone who uses SSH a lot, I find connecting to WP Engine hosted sites painfully slow. Are there ways I can improve the speed, help you with diagnostics data, or find out of that's on your list of near-future improvements? Thanks, Neven

As a publisher, we need all the support we can get to control bot access to our site. As you control any Cloudflare features available in GES, we all need this exposed for our use! https://www.cloudflare.com/paypercrawl-signup/
