    Just configured the plugin. My logs are only made of lines like these:

    [2026-05-12 06:35:55] Warming: https://example.com/page/ via {“download_token”:[{“message”
    [2026-05-12 06:35:55] HTTP error (proxy): cURL error 5: Unsupported proxy syntax in ‘{“download_token”:[{“message”‘: Port number was not a decimal number between 0 and 65535

    If Proxy List URL shield is blank, it works (only with the closest Cloudflare proxy, of course).

    Tried to switch between Backbone and Direct, no difference.

    Anyway, in the Websher dashboard there is no correspondence with the step “Choose the ip:port:username:password authentication format” step mentioned on https://wpfixfast.com/blog/preload-cloudflare-cache/#how-to-register-and-use-webshare-proxies

    Hi @masvil , thanks for using our plugin.

    As per your message below:
    – If Proxy List URL shield is blank, it works (only with the closest Cloudflare proxy, of course).

    It appears that there is a problem with your Webshare proxy URL. When you access that URL from your browser it needs to automatically download a text file containing your backbone proxy list having proxies such as:

    p.webshare.io:80:username:password`

    Ensure you can access the proxy list and then use the correct Proxy List URL in the plugin settings. Then your Cloudflare Worker should be able to preload each page through your proxies.

    Hi @ozgursar , thanks for your support.

    I followed your steps and verified that Webshare proxy URL was invalid (no download). No idea why, since I just used the copy button on Webshare dashboard. I fixed by resetting the download link on Webshare dashboard.

    5 stars support for a 5 stars plugin. Review is coming. Meanwhile, some reports:

    On https://wpfixfast.com/blog/preload-cloudflare-cache/#how-to-create-and-deploy-a-cloudflare-worker you should update screenshots (yes, Cloudflare dashboard changes everyday) and replace the following:
    – “Compute (Workers)” with “Compute”
    – “Click Create” with “Click Create application”

    On https://wpfixfast.com/blog/preload-cloudflare-cache/#how-to-register-and-use-webshare-proxies the “Click Generate Proxy List” step is not required (anymore), since the proxy list is already generated on the dashboard’s 1st loading.
