Stop Hitting Your Origin Server for Every Single Request
I configure Cloudflare caching properly so your site loads from 300+ edge locations instead of your origin. Page rules, cache rules, APO, Workers. Most people set up Cloudflare wrong and it actually makes things slower. I fix that.
Hire me and my team at Gatilab for Cloudflare cache setup backed by 800+ client projects and 16 years of hands-on WordPress and infrastructure experience.
- Full cache audit of your current Cloudflare setup
- Page rules and cache rules configured for your stack
- Cloudflare APO setup for WordPress sites
- Workers-based edge logic for dynamic cache control
- Cache hit ratio targeting 90%+ on static assets
- Before/after TTFB measurements with proof
Most Cloudflare Setups Are Actively Hurting Performance
I audit 3-4 Cloudflare setups every month. The pattern is always the same. The free plan is active, DNS is proxied, but nothing is actually cached. Or worse, cache rules conflict with each other, cookies break sessions, and logged-in users see someone else’s dashboard. A misconfigured CDN is worse than no CDN.
Cache bypass everywhere
Default Cloudflare settings don’t cache HTML pages. Your origin handles every single visit, and TTFB stays high.
Conflicting rules
Page rules override cache rules, or both fight each other. Visitors get stale content while fresh pages never cache.
Broken sessions
Cache serves logged-in content to anonymous visitors. WooCommerce carts, dashboards, and user data leak across sessions.

How I Work
Audit
I review your current Cloudflare config, DNS setup, page rules, and cache headers. Most problems are obvious within 30 minutes.
Plan
I map out which URLs need full-page caching, which need bypass rules, and where Workers can handle edge logic your server shouldn’t touch.
Configure
I set up cache rules, APO, Workers, and purge hooks. Everything is tested on staging before it touches production.
Validate
I measure TTFB, cache hit ratios, and page load times across 5+ global locations. You get a before/after report with hard numbers.
Real Results From Recent Setup
A WooCommerce store with 2,400 products was running Cloudflare on the free plan with zero page caching. Every product page hit the origin. TTFB averaged 1.8 seconds globally. After configuring APO, cache rules, and cookie-aware bypass logic, TTFB dropped to 180ms from edge. Cache hit ratio went from 12% to 94%. Server load dropped 60%, and they cancelled the $200/month CDN they were running alongside Cloudflare.

FAQs
Have a question not listed here? Get in touch and I’ll respond within 24 hours.
Do I need a paid Cloudflare plan?
For basic caching, the free plan works fine. But if you want APO for WordPress ($5/month) or Workers for dynamic edge logic, you’ll need at least the Pro plan. I’ll tell you exactly which plan makes sense for your setup.
Will this break my WooCommerce cart or login pages?
No. That’s exactly the kind of mistake I prevent. I configure cookie-aware bypass rules so logged-in users, carts, and checkout pages never get cached. This is the number one thing people get wrong with Cloudflare.
How long does setup take?
Most single-site setups take 2-3 days. Multi-domain or Workers-heavy setups take about a week. You’ll see TTFB improvements the same day cache rules go live.
