 * Hello, so I am currently experiencing issues with ‘Handshake / Cloudflare’ and
   it has appeared on all sites that use this plugin and none on the sites that 
   don’t use it hence why I think it’s probably the plugin. I use default settings
   with preset ‘Extreme’. This obviously needs testing and I’m pretty clueless about
   where to begin testing this. The handshake is frequent enough for it to cause
   an issue in the long run, but I would say when I work on the page it may happen
   twice per half hour when clicking a button and redirecting. Not really sure what
   more I can provide. The plugin is up to date.

 * Handshake is a process for negotiating a secure connection between 2 parties ,
   usually webserver and browser , in your case , seems your origin webserver and
   cloudflare server
 * this process is taking place at server-level , by that saying , no PHP code is
   even involved , I can not possible imagine how could a PHP code that makes webserver
   fails on handshake
 * I think this is more like server level thing , have you checked with your hosting
   provider?

 * I have, but I’ll try another round. I assumed it may be that because the integration
   with Cloudflare. I’ll talk to my provider then close / reply here.
