 * Hello Team,
 * After activating cloudflare plugin , and connect it through API key I am getting
   redbar bad request.
 * note that im on the latest version of WordPress and ive noticed that the current
   version of cloudflare still untested.
 * Could this be the problem? compatibility issue with WordPress?
 * Please advise with a fix
 * Regards,

 * Same issue here.
 * and when I’m logged into cloudflare I see the following error message when I 
   try testing the site’s speed.
 * API Request Failed: POST /api/v4/zones/xxxxx/speed_testing (504)
