Provides limited control of Cloudflare settings, caching, blacklisting, and rate-limiting from WordPress.

Description

Cloudflare control from WordPress

1. Pause/Resume Cloudflare service.
2. Override the browser cache time-to-live.
3. Set 'cf-edge-cache' header to trigger APO or custom rules.
   • Custom rules can look for this header set to cache, platform=wordpress or no-cache or not set.
4. Add 'Cache-Tag' header with mime type that can be used for selective cache purge.
5. Set common Cloudflare options for speed & security directly from WordPress.
6. Automatically purge cloudflare cache (by host name).
7. Add a rate limiting rule to temporarily block IP addresses after 100 requests within 10 seconds.
8. Create and update Cloudflare IP blacklist (account) and blocking rule (zone) using risk assessment results.

Recommended for free plans. Paid plans should use the official Cloudflare plugin with Automatic Platform Optimization (APO).

Cloudflare Settings

With your Cloudflare account information, we can set certain common Cloudflare options as well as automatically purge the Cloudflare cache when purging the local WordPress caches, add a rate-limiting rule to mitigate brute-force and DDoS attacks, and blacklist IP addresses identified by Risk Assessment.

Account Email

Your Cloudflare account email address.

Global API Key

Your Cloudflare global API key. From your Account Profile → API Tokens → API Keys → Global API Key

Domain Zone

Your Cloudflare zone for this domain.

Pause This Zone

Pausing stops traffic from passing through the Cloudflare network, making your origin server IP address visible. Also, Cloudflare’s security and protection features become disabled.

Browser Cache Time-To-Live

Controls how long resources cached by client browsers remain valid. Zone → Caching → Configuration

Cloudflare Options

Enable/disable common Cloudflare options for speed & security. Zone → Speed → Settings Zone → SSL/TLS → Edge Certificates Zone → Security → Settings

Rate Limit Rule

Adds a rate limiting rule to temporarily block IP addresses after 100 requests within 10 seconds. Set to work with free plans but may overwrite existing rule. Zone → Security → Security rules

Risk Assessment Blacklist

When a request is blocked by the {eac}Doojigger Risk Assessment process, add the remote IP address to the Cloudflare blacklist to prevent further access to the site. This creates or updates a Cloudflare IP list (Account → Configurations → Lists) and adds a security rule (Zone → Security → Security Rules) to block the list. Note: To use an existing IP list, add [{eac}Cloudflare] to its description.

Blacklist Expiration

Controls how long an IP address is blacklisted due to Risk Assessment. The Cloudflare blacklist is purged hourly.

Filters and Actions

Filters

1. 'cloudflare_purge_everything_actions' (array) - filter actions that trigger a cache purge.
2. 'cloudflare_use_cache' (bool) - override cf-edge-cache setting (cache/no-cache).

Actions

1. 'eacDoojigger_cloudflare_pause' - pause the cloudflare service
2. 'eacDoojigger_cloudflare_resume' - resume the cloudflare service
3. 'eacDoojigger_cloudflare_purge' - purge the cloudflare cache
