The Cloudflare service that you can use for your website includes a lot of settings and tools that can make your website faster and more secure. Since speed is an important factor for getting your website’s pages to rank well, you may eventually start looking for ways to optimize it.
One of the ways that you can make your site load a little faster is to minify your Javascript, CSS, and HTML. Minifying your code involves removing characters in the code that are required for it to execute properly. While some WordPress plugins can do this, you can also take advantage of it if you have set up your site with Cloudflare. Our guide below will show you where to find this setting for your site on Cloudflare.

Step 1: Head over to https://www.cloudflare.com and sign into your account.
Step 2: Click on the site for which you would like to enable the auto-minify option.
Step 3; Choose the Speed option at the top of the window.
