CloudFlare seems to only cache my homepage, and I am wondering if there is a way to force it to cache all pages. Notice it when BlueHost went down today and only my homepage is cached by CloudFlare. Any thoughts?

This is the free account on a Wordpress site. However, pages have not been updated since launch.

Are you using the free account or a paid level? Is your site a dynamic site (e.g. WordPress) or a static site? – JCL1178 Feb 3 at 18:10

When you have a dynamic site (like WordPress) you should also activate the CloudFlare Railgun so that you get the maximum benefit out of the service. A lot of WordPress "pages" may not be cached by CloudFlare, especially if they change frequently (like an archives page). If your site falls into that category, Railgun may help you out.

Railgun only applies to BlueHost re-seller's account's main account but not the resold accounts. Is that correct? – kjy112 Feb 6 at 12:50
Not sure. Railgun is enabled/disabled from CloudFlare and should work at the domain level and not be affected by the ISP. Why do you ask? – JCL1178 Feb 6 at 18:11
i asked because Railgun is avilable for partners and my hosting company is one of the partners. however, there's no option to turn it "on/off" – kjy112 Feb 6 at 19:00
I don't use Bluehost. These would seem to be questions better suited for their Support folks. – JCL1178 Feb 6 at 19:05

All pages should be cached.

Go to https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/cloudflare and on the domain in question, even though it says "active", click on "edit" and make sure it is "activated". It is not by default.

Additionally, under "Advanced", you can set cache level to more or less aggressive.

You cannot force cloudflare to cache all pages. All you can do is just keep on navigating through your site. Cloudflare is automatic, as soon as people visit your site it will cache it.
