I've lost count of the number of times I've been rousted from sleep from my "VIP" clientele due to some "weird issue." It's doing this, or it's doing that. Nine times out of ten, it's been related to Cloudflare. So, here's some tips to eliminate most problems related to these phenomena: PAGE RULES: Use them! Even with the free account, you get 3 page rules to do as you please with. One of these should be to completely eliminate all caching and spam-related tools in your AdminCP as well as your ModCP. You can leave the browser-integrity check and GEO IP settings and such enabled. An example of such a page rule is: https://yourdomain.tld/admincp_directory/* Now, if you're on the FREE account and want to use your "3 wishes" sparingly, you can do this... https://yourdomain.tld/*cp* This will apply to AdminCP, ModCP, usercp.php. I'll add to this as new issues arise, but I thought I'd share my first article in fourteen years and save people a ton of trouble. Enjoy! |
