Hi Sanjay, for a WordPress site, we recommend setting the Security Level to "Medium". Under the "Speed" -> "Optimization" tab, enable "Auto Minify" for JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Also, enable "Brotli" compression. The Cloudflare WAF is excellent, and their free plan includes a basic set of rules that protects against many common threats. We definitely recommend keeping it on.
