And this is the result:

   

Almost everything is cached now and being served from CloudFlare! That's impressive!

Look at THAT!!!!

   

90% of all the bandwidth is served from Cloudflare cache now!!!

The percentage of HTTP/3 requests is growing:

Version	Requests	Percentage of Requests
HTTP/3	102,362	47.15%
HTTP/2	76,669	35.31%
HTTP/1.1	37,625	17.33%
HTTP/1.0	459	0.2%

Just updated the FancyBox setting, so the cache will be filled in quicker, hence more possibility to get crawled by image search engines, hence more possibility to get more traffic.

Ah, found!  package.json should be removed from the cache!

OK, now I know what needs to be done. I think ...

Fantastic! You are very good.

The games work as before but now ruffle starts up much faster.

There is only one game that does not work, but that is aeady for quite some time. It never worked with ruffle. Most likely there is nothing you can do about that. I refer to "Super Deep Throat" which is of course a game that is quite at its place in this site.
Even so, with the new setup it gets a bit further than before. Before it would give a ruffle error and now it passes through ruffle and gives its startup page, but clicking on play or options does not do anything. If it is just a matter of reinstalling, it might be worth the effort, but if it gets complicated, don't waste any effort on it.

Again: thanks for the great job.

"Super Deep Throat"

It works with the standalone ruffle app. Unfortunately, the server version still does not work. Actually, SDT is the reason for frequent ruffle updates on the site 😉

Here's the trick. I changed the settings to "show 1000 posts per page", clicked on an attached image and then either roll the mouse wheel down or start slide show. And voilà - all images from the thread are in the CloudFlare cache!

ChatGPT created me a program, which accesses ALL attachments in the forum with an interval of 1 sec. It should take 15 hours to get all attachments into the CF cache! Let's see what happens! 😆

Updates!!!!!

- The site is accessible from EVERYWHERE now! Including the places where adult sites are blocked!!!! Yoooohoooo!!!!
- I allowed downloading attachments for EVERYONE! Including guests and bots, what results in:
- The CF cache is filled in - all attachments can be accessed very quickly with no server load
- All attachments can be indexed by search engines

This is how the network traffic dropped after adding CF:
