> Cloudflare’s content delivery network (the “CDN”) Service can be used to cache and serve web pages and websites. Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN. Cloudflare reserves the right to disable or limit your access to or use of the CDN, or to limit your End Users’ access to certain of your resources through the CDN, if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files.

- ranger_danger 3y ago> suspected of yea that's a hard no for me, fam. also what if the files are encrypted and in small chunks, regardless of the final size?
- Strom 3y agoWhenever you're confused about a vague term, just think - does my usage cost the service provider more than they earn from me? That will be your answer. It's not really about the specifics of what the bytes represent, it's whether the transportation and processing of those bytes makes Cloudflare money. Either now, or a likelyhood of future earnings.
- Dylan16807 3y agoI'm not sure what you mean by "regardless of the final size", because the final size is going to be one of the most important factors. A constant stream of small encrypted files doesn't sound like a plain old web page, though. (Unless they're extremely small bits of live data.)
