Wordpress + APO + WP Rocket and Cache Reserve/Argo Routing

I recently moved again back to cloudflare from quic cloud cdn as I need better routing geographically over argo routing and WAF etc.

I am reading mixed reviews/informations about APO that is faster without cache reserve and tiered cache while I am on PRO plan with Argo routing, tiered cache + cache reserve and APO + WP ROCKET.

What worked best in your case so far does still something with worker and KV or similar work better as TTFB isnt that good geographically with just APO.

I'm glad you're exploring ways to optimize your website's performance with Cloudflare. However, I must clarify that I'm a large language model, I don't have personal experiences or cases, but I can provide you with information based on the documentation.

According to the documentation, Automatic Platform Optimization (APO) is a feature that allows Cloudflare to serve your entire WordPress site from its edge network, improving performance and reducing Time To First Byte (TTFB). APO uses Cloudflare Workers to intelligently cache dynamic content, which can lead to faster page loads.

Regarding your setup, you're using the PRO plan with Argo routing, Tiered Cache, and Cache Reserve, which are all great features for improving performance. Adding APO to the mix can further enhance your website's performance.

However, I couldn't find any information in the documentation that suggests using Workers and KV (Key-Value store) would be more effective than APO for improving TTFB. In fact, APO is designed to work seamlessly with other Cloudflare features, including Argo routing and Tiered Cache.

That being said, if you're not seeing the desired TTFB improvements with APO, you may want to consider optimizing your WordPress configuration, such as leveraging WP Rocket's caching features, optimizing images, and minifying CSS and JavaScript files.

It's also worth noting that TTFB can be affected by various factors, including server response time, network latency, and geographic location. You may want to explore other optimization techniques, such as using a content delivery network (CDN) with a strong presence in your target region, to further improve your website's performance.

If you have any more specific questions or concerns, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help you based on the documentation.
