I’ve been working to dramatically reduce page load times on my site. Load times were reduced from 6 seconds to about 3 just by minifying content, using a CDN for static resources and generally removing scripts images that were not required.
My main issues ended up being a slow server using cheap hosting and an SSL certificate that marginally increases the download time.
The load times of just under 2 seconds were achieved
The above rules were required in CloudFlare to get it working correctly with WordPress, the first rule turns off caching for the admin area and a few other bits and pieces. The second rule ensures page preview works. Both these rules completely do away with caching at all levels.
The last rule is the catch all for everything not included in the above two rules. it caches everything on the domain.
