Braden Hello yes you can still do ssh but with IP I was incorrect I by mistake said as I always do it with IP, I have a best tip for you use mobaxterm portable free version here your ip will be saved once you login and also you will be able to see a visual file manager so easy work actually. 😁

Braden In File Size Optimization, did enable Auto minify?

Yes it's good here is the detail tutorial for flarum written by me also the main thing is edge cache just enable that for a month (Not tention when you will update css/js it will be automatically done as flarum adds ?version in file) only for assets folder.

wOW Flarum now is fast! 🔥

And remaining

I have a question, why in page rule use only EDGE cache , what would happen if we add browser cache.. too?

[deleted]

Braden the browser cache default for CF is 4 hours. Your don't need the edge cache rule

[deleted]

Braden Just make sure that Brotli is enabled plus http2 (which should be by default)

Braden page rule use only EDGE cache , what would happen if we add browser cache.. too?

Yes add it browser cache ttl to 1 month but if you see my tutorial i already told that set browser cache to 1 month in cache configuration.

[deleted] Your don't need the edge cache rule

He need it actually.

Inside page rule setting
/assests/* my dir permission is 0755 meaning its okay cloudflare can read it? or should change to 0777 best for public view

1Dot He need it actually.

He really doesn't. But ok, if you insist.

1Dot

Braden If you can access files then Cloudflare also can access and also 755 is recommended by flarum so its great.

Braden Don't set your permissions to 777.
That's bad practice, dangerous, and generally not advised. Please don't do that.

[deleted]

Braden please do not set your permissions to 777. This is really bad practice and the only thing you'll be able to guarantee is that your site is wide open to attack.

Braden

Cool guys sticking to 0755

@[deleted] with gtmetrix somehow favors its surfers but did you notice using the google insights its something different.

Braden However Score is good too here with Cloudflare site

Mobile

[deleted]

Braden Yes. Google insights takes a different approach to treating a website and in all honesty, users some fairly bizarre metrics to calculate site speed. In addition, you never know exactly from which location your site is tested from and the speed is often 4G.

Not really a fair representation.

[deleted] how did flarum discuss manage to get 98% just 2% left with google insights

Braden As they are using redis and Cloudflare together with a very high end server from digital Ocean.

1Dot Braden discuss runs on a very simple digital ocean droplet (sponsored) and we use cloudflare because a few years ago we were under a ddos attack (a custom fail2ban to cloudflare scripts protected us). We don't use any of the additional features cf uses. Not even custom rules or edge workers.

We do use redis, but the reason for that is to have a queue. Obviously sessions and cache are also stored in redis.
