Title: Doesn’t work with Cloudflare Last modified: February 14, 2017 --- # Doesn’t work with Cloudflare * [scuderiadank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scuderiadank/) * (@scuderiadank) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-cloudflare/) * This plugin doesn’t seem to work correctly when using Cloudflare for caching? With Cloudflare enabled it displays the animated loading gif and nothing else. Disabling it makes it work as intended.

Is animated gif loaded upon page load? * Thread Starter [scuderiadank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scuderiadank/) * (@scuderiadank) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-cloudflare/#post-8808198) * Yes, the animated loading gif displays but nothing else. Tried with the ‘on click’ method too, but clicking the button doesn’t reveal the comments either. * anonymized-11892634 * (@anonymized-11892634) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-cloudflare/#post-8870051) * Also not working on CloudFlare for me.

If so, I will consider changing nonce check to something else. * [leojonathanoh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leojonathanoh/) * (@leojonathanoh) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-cloudflare/#post-8965084) * [@joelcj91](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/) pretty sure on this one. When I got a 403 on a cached page I opened up Developer Tools and changed the ’s value to a newly generated llc_ajax_nonce on another page that I cleared the cache on, and it went through. * At least for now I applied is_user_logged_in so the nonce is not checked for non-logged in users **/lazy-load-for-comments/public/class-llc-public.php** * ``` if (is_user_logged_in()) check_ajax_referer( 'llc-ajax-nonce', 'llc_ajax_nonce' ); ``` * Perhaps we could add in a referrer check. Can’t suggest much since I don’t do WP development. * Plugin Author [Joel James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/) * (@joelcj91) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-cloudflare/#post-8986481) * Hey [@leojonathanoh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leojonathanoh/), [@scuderiadank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scuderiadank/) and @philclothier, * Please [review this](https://github.com/Joel-James/lazy-load-for-comments) upcoming version and give me your feedback. I have removed nonce check and changed the ajax request to GET method.

If you are using normal WordPress comments, while Jetpack is enabled, it should work. * [Chris David Miles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisdavidmiles/) * (@chrisdavidmiles) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-cloudflare/#post-9303486) * The [GitHub](https://github.com/Joel-James/lazy-load-for-comments) version of this plugin does work with Cloudflare. * I just wanted to follow up for anyone still following this thread. I was having a similar problem when using the Cloudflare’s full-page fully static caching. Comments wouldn’t load for non-logged in users since the plugin uses nonce keys( which were being cached on the edge by Cloudflare). As per [@joelcj91](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/)’ s suggestion, I [tested](https://lazy-load-for-comments-staging.code.qa/post) the GitHub version of the plugin, and it works great! I look forward to seeing it published to the .org repo. 🙂 * [makeonlineshops](https://wordpress.org/support/users/makeonlineshops/) * (@makeonlineshops) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-cloudflare/#post-9303497) * Hello, can I know if a page really load faster with this plugin ? It sound a bit weird that someone needs a special plugin just to lazy load comments ! Thank you.
