Yeah, adding a little bit of caching (at least as WordPress plugin without dependencies for external entities) is now the DevOps problem that requires the DevOps solution, nice.

Well, I mean, you can front the blog with Cloudflare using their wizard for free without any technical knowledge. What kind of DevOps magic do you need there?

You I guess need the knowledge that you need to do that.
Maybe changing the default settings based on user experience, or the implementation of a caching layer of some sort for infrequently changing blogs posts (seems that could be the majority) or making the importance of these settings more accessible to the people who use them and aren't developers in layman's terms. I don't use WordPress or blog personally.

I do imagine that this particular issue is causing the author of the post anxiety due to it's unforseen (to them) failure. I'd prefer the computer not discourage them.
