So, maybe i'm confused, shouldn't you submit bugs?

I would argue you don't even want sensitive info like the AdminCP backend to have anything fancy done to it.

In an ideal world wouldn't they give you the ability to disable it for specific folders/files?

Well like this guy stated... you can block it off from loading in certain area's... Trouble is that you only get 3 pagerules to start with from the free service. Of course the ckeditor alone loads in more than just one place:

Probably best to let you do it (details here).

Note: I put a PageRule in for you (you can look for the option by going to settings->PageRules).

Maybe you should request that they just exclude the ckeditor from ever using their service? Surely they can adapt to that.

It seems like you're kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place here.

At that point, you've excluded half the most viewed pages of your forum, whats the point of the service?

Your response makes it seem that you think they only made this for vbulletin. Cloudflare can be used by ANY kind of software used to make a site with. They can't just exclude the ckeditor from ever using their service, because how would they?

And I would also argue that a large number of sites use vBulletin. It would be in their best intrests to develop rules that suite their customers.

So, my suggestions to submit bug reports/feature requests at their end sound valid.

Yes I do submit the bugs that I happen upon, always have. The thing with vbulletin's ckeditor is that it is heavily modded & custom coded and god only knows what kind of unholy things were done to it's javascript to implement it into vbulletin :)

One thing seems for certain though, if it is deferred it doesn't load and my understanding is that the async attribute contributes to this. (which cloudflare appends to javascript that it finds).

From all I know though, you've seen how the ckeditor code looks before getting thrown into the coding blender & shoved into the vbulletin product. With that said, the only instance I've seen ckeditor in is in vbulletin & invision... which I don't have an invision board to see if the rocketloader breaks it or not. So for now I'll take your word for it & give the ckeditor script in a whole the blame & look to see if I can find any other cms websites that use ckeditor as an editor and attempt to test those via cloudflare's rocketloader.

In order to load a page, the browser must parse the contents of all <script> tags, which adds additional time to the page load. By minimizing the amount of JavaScript needed to render the page, and deferring parsing of unneeded JavaScript until it needs to be executed, you can reduce the initial load time of your page.

Details from Google

There are several techniques that can be used to defer parsing of JavaScript. The simplest and preferred technique is to simply Defer loading of JavaScript until it is needed. A second technique is to use the <script async> attribute where appropriate, which prevents parsing from blocking the initial page load by deferring it until the browser's UI thread is not busy doing something else.

Very little was done to the Javascript (quite deleberately, since any changes would have to be made everytime it was updated to the latest CKE version).

So what about the extra javascript that the team had to add in? In particular the editing buttons. The ckeditor will load with the rocketloader enabled but the editing buttons will not.

I know this is an old post but would this be for apply for vb4.2.0 as well...:D thanks

For cloudfare ? Yes.
