Can Cloudflare affect carts or logged-in users?

Yes, if caching is configured too broadly. I identify dynamic paths and set suitable exceptions, then test the important journeys after configuration.

Will there be DNS downtime?

DNS changes are planned to reduce risk, but I do not promise zero downtime without reviewing the current setup and migration conditions.

Cloudflare Setup for WordPress

I configure Cloudflare to suit the WordPress site, hosting environment, and business requirements. The setup can cover DNS, SSL, caching, delivery, and suitable security controls without treating every site the same.

The problem

Default settings can be incomplete or unsafe for dynamic WordPress sites

Poor DNS changes can interrupt access, broad caching can affect logged-in or checkout areas, and aggressive security rules can block legitimate visitors. Configuration needs to match how the website actually works.

What I review on a WordPress site

Existing DNS records and nameserver plan
SSL mode and origin certificate setup
CDN and cache behaviour
Dynamic, logged-in, cart, and checkout exceptions
Suitable firewall and rate-limit rules
Origin exposure and important third-party services

What you receive

Documented Cloudflare configuration
DNS and SSL checks
Cache rules with necessary exceptions
Agreed security controls
Post-change testing of important pages and functions
Notes for future changes and troubleshooting

Process

A clear process from review to handover

01
Map
Document DNS, hosting, SSL, dynamic areas, and services that depend on the domain.
02
Configure
Apply agreed delivery, caching, and security settings in a controlled order.
03
Test
Check public pages, admin access, forms, logged-in areas, and commerce functions where relevant.
04
Handover
Record the setup, exceptions, and practical guidance for future changes.

If your situation is not covered, send the details and I will confirm whether I can help.

That depends on the required features, traffic, and security needs. I review the use case before recommending a plan rather than assuming a paid tier is necessary.
