<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Cloudflare API (https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/) to manage Cloudflare cache rules, purge cache, and fetch cache analytics for your zone.
It sends: 
– Your Cloudflare account email address and Global API Key (entered in the plugin settings) in request headers. 
– Your Cloudflare Zone ID (entered in the plugin settings) in request URLs. 
– Cache rule definitions (including your site domain and any exclusion paths you configure) when you deploy rules. 
– URLs to purge when you use the purge tools, and when the plugin triggers automatic purges (for example on post publish, approved comments, menu updates, theme switches, or some WooCommerce stock events).

<h4>YouTube (optional)</h4>
If you enable “Smart YouTube Previews”, the plugin loads a thumbnail from https://i.ytimg.com/ and loads the YouTube embed from https://www.youtube.com/ when a visitor clicks the preview. These requests are made by the visitor’s browser on pages that contain YouTube embeds.

<h4>Google Ad services (optional)</h4>
If you enable “Boost AdSense RPM”, the plugin adds preconnect and dns-prefetch hints for Google ad domains to speed up ad loading. This may cause the visitor’s browser to connect to: 
– https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net 
– https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com 
– https://tpc.googlesyndication.com
