   Tip

   This selection doesn't impact your visitors, because they will be using Cloudflare Enterprise. Instead, it should be a location geographically close to you, because your work in the WordPress Dashboard is not cached.

6. In the Admin Username text box, type the admin username you want to use.

   🚧

   Important

   You will use this username to log in to your WordPress installation. You can add additional users later on. For greater security, we recommend using a name besides admin.
