I have setup W3 Total Cache with Cloudflare using the EXTENSIONS and syncing up my Cloudflare account through my API. Great.
- Does this mean when I purge the W3TC cache now it will also purge the Cloudflare cache – if so that is GREAT!
- Do I also need the Cloudflare WordPress plugin for performance or is everything automatically configured with W3TC (Hope I only have to use one plugin).
- Any suggested optimizations apart from the default from Cloudflare and W3TC integration?
Thank you

- Correct, W3 Total Cache will automatically clear your CDN Cache for you, unless you’ve selected the Only purge CDN manually option in the Performance > CDN menu.
- You shouldn’t need the CloudFlare plugin as long as everything has been configured correctly. The only reason I can think of (off the top of my head) that you might need it is if you’re using the CloudFlare Universal SSL option, but I haven’t seen that used much since free SSL’s have become so common at hosting providers.
- CloudFlare does offer some additional documentation about using their CDN with WordPress, but in my experience you’ll only need to start tweaking things in advanced scenarios.

I wanted to clarify my answer to your first question. The CDN is purged when you use either the Empty All Caches button, or use the top-bar Performance > Purge Modules > Cloudflare:all options.
