Using Cloudflare to Speed Up and Secure WordPress

While WordPress is a versatile platform, its global popularity makes it a constant target for automated threats and performance bottlenecks. In this virtual technical session, we will examine how to leverage Cloudflare to move your site's security and optimization to the "edge," protecting your origin server from unnecessary load and malicious traffic.
We will look beyond basic DNS and CDN functionality to explore the sophisticated tools available within Cloudflare for hardening and accelerating WordPress.

Technical Workshop Highlights:

• Edge-Layer Security: Implementing Firewall Rules and WAF (Web Application Firewall) settings to intercept threats before they reach your hosting environment.
• Performance Optimization: Configuring Tiered Caching and Cache Levels to improve Time to First Byte (TTFB) and reduce server-side resource consumption.
• DNS Management and Resilience: Best practices for managing your DNS records to ensure high availability and rapid propagation.
• Free vs. Enterprise Features: A technical comparison of the features available in the free tier versus the advanced capabilities of premium tiers, such as image optimization and enhanced bot management.

Who Should Attend? This workshop is designed for developers and site administrators who want to build a more resilient and faster WordPress infrastructure using professional edge-layer services.
