 * Regarding Cloudflare cache purging added in 2.2.20, I still need Cloudflare plugin,
   right?
   Or Breeze can connect to Cloudflare directly?

   Unless your site is connected
   to Cloudflare with something, you can’t purge Cloudflare cache in Breeze.At least
   when you are not on a Cloudways server.Any plugin that handles Cloudfare has 
   the connection setting.

 * I am on cloudways servers, so it means I do not need a cloudflare plugin ? I 
   am on free Cloudflare plan.

   In that case, you have
   to use official Cloudflare plugin, otherwise Breeze won’t clear Cloudflare cache.

 * On Cloudways servers, when Cloudflare is enabled on the application, Breeze will
   automatically communicate directly with Cloudflare. This integration allows Breeze
   to purge and manage Cloudflare’s cache whenever Breeze clears its own cache, 
   ensuring both remain in sync for optimal performance.

 * Annoying to install another plugin only for Cloudflare, you should add this to
   Breeze plugin. By the way I never cleared Cloudflare cache and it seems that 
   I never needed it ?!

 * Please confirm if you’re on Cloudways.

 * Sorry for the inconvenience you’re facing. In Breeze, the purge functionality
   for both Cloudflare (CF) and Varnish cache is managed through Cloudways. Breeze
   follows the cache purging configuration allowed and controlled by the Cloudways
   platform.

 * Please add Cloudflare API setting for non CW servers.

 * Thank you for the suggestion. Currently, we haven’t implemented Cloudflare settings
   for non-Cloudways servers. The Breeze plugin relies on the Cloudways platform
   to manage Cloudflare integration, including authentication and cache purging.
   For non-Cloudways environments, this functionality isn’t available at the moment.
