The XMLRPC Pingback Ping can potentially be used as part of a DDOS attack. 
If you do not need the functionality, this plugin will use core functions to disable it.

Automatic Platform Optimization (APO)
Speed up your WordPress site by up to 300% with Cloudflare’s Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) plugin. APO allows Cloudflare to serve your entire WordPress site from our edge network of over 250+ data centers worldwide ensuring fast & reliable performance for your visitors no matter where they are.
Optimizing your WordPress site with multiple plugins can be overwhelming. Take your WordPress site’s performance to the next level by switching to a single plugin for CDN, intelligent caching, and other key WordPress optimizations with Cloudflare (APO). Visit our <a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/automatic-platform-optimizations-starting-with-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">announcement blog</a> to learn more about APO.
What makes APO different from other caching plugins?
The key differentiating factor between Cloudflare APO and other traditional page caching and CDN solutions is its ability to directly cache static HTML at Cloudflare’s edge. Every other plugin and CDN will cache your static assets (images, javascript, CSS), but none help you cache the actual content on your site (the HTML) using a massive edge network like Cloudflare’s.
APO intelligently caches your HTML pages and will automatically purge content from the cache that you update, so users will always see the latest content without compromising the performance of pages that haven’t been recently updated
What you get with Cloudflare APO
APO is a $5 add-on with Cloudflare’s free plan and comes with an unlimited amount of subdomains. With APO you also get to leverage many of the other benefits of Cloudflare such as Free DNS, Free Automated SSL Certificates, Free DDoS Mitigation, and more. APO is free for all paid plan users so if you have Cloudflare Pro or Business already you can just turn it on. You can compare all our plans <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/?utm_source=promo&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=g421o-pl-apo-wordpress-plans" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
