 * Hi there!
 * I disabled this plugin to try just LSCACHE cache but it looks like the cache 
   is still being served from this plugin and there’s obviously a conflict with 
   LSCache resulting in 4 sec TTFB and 15 sec loading time. What’s the best way 
   to flush cache from it completely?
 * Thanks.

 * I get this error in Google Page Insights as soon as I disable WP Cloudflare Super

 * Hi [@maxgorky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxgorky/),
    When you deactivate
   the plugin from `wp-admin` it removed all the changes it has made. So, after 
   deactivating the plugin if you go to the Cloudflare dashboard and check under
   page rules you will see that the page rule added by the plugin has been removed
   now.

 * Hi [@isaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/)
    The thing is my 
   TTFB is 300-500 ms when the plugin is activated. When I deactivated it, it goes
   up to 4 sec. I can see the plugin folder in wp-content folder in my databases.
   Can I safely remove it? I’m not sure why such a high spike in TTFB upon deactivation.

 * Hi [@maxgorky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxgorky/),
    the reason for
   high TTFB is because upon deactivation this plugin is not caching the webpages
   in cloudflare anymore and they are coming via your origin server. If you need
   to delete the plugin it should be done via the wp-admin plugin section and not
   via FTP. As when you delete via wp admin plugin section it will also remove all
   the database entries it added.
