Thanks, I appreciate that. I went ahead and updated the readme and the plugin text so the privacy section is clearer about what Cloudflare logs and what the plugin itself does or does not do. I want people to understand exactly what they’re

Thanks for sharing all this. It is clear you have gone through several versions of solving this problem, and a lot of what you described is exactly what led me to build this plugin. The “in-between” space you mentioned is what I am trying t

You are right that a lot of those clients are on “unlimited” hosting and never think about bandwidth at all. I am still trying to figure out how big the overlap is between “does not want to touch Cloudflare” and “actually cares about image

That could work as a separate plugin. This one is intentionally not an offloader. WordPress keeps storage and transformations, I only rewrite the final URL.

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Right. The target user is not using Cloudflare nameservers.
10.
by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Noted. I agree the current wording is not clear enough about what Cloudflare logs. I am going to rewrite that section so it is more explicit.

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Do they? I honestly do not know yet. That is what I am trying to learn.

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Mine is a tiny nail. Please buy my plugin.
13.
by cr1st1an 10mo ago
If someone can get Cloudflare caching working without changing nameservers, then yes, this plugin does not offer anything new for that case.
14.
by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Yup, been there. I was serving more than 45 TB of data a month on one site, and they tried to push me into a $4,000/mo product. I’ll stick with my $20 subscription, thanks.

Thanks for the detailed perspective. Your setup makes sense for agencies or teams that can manage their own caching, droplets, image formats, and traffic patterns. In that environment a plugin like this is not really needed. The plugin is a

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Thanks, that is exactly the angle I am leaning into. The whole point is to give users most of the benefits of Cloudflare without having to move nameservers or deal with caching rules or the dashboard. For people who already use Cloudflare d

Thanks for the follow up. I think the main difference is that I am not trying to build another offloader or a full image optimization service. WordPress stays in control of storage and transformations. The plugin only rewrites the final URL
18.
by cr1st1an 10mo ago
That’s the main question for me now: is there a subset of users who can’t or won’t switch their nameservers to Cloudflare, yet still need a lot of bandwidth? It’s possible that group doesn’t exist.
19.
by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Thanks for the detailed reply. Let me try to clear up a few things, because I think we are talking about slightly different use cases. The plugin is not trying to replace Cloudflare, Squid, Minio, or any other origin setup. It also is not a

Right. The target user is not using Cloudflare nameservers.

Thanks for all the comments so far. I wanted to share what I am taking from the discussion and also open the door if anyone wants to keep pushing on any of these points. There is a lot of useful input here. About the $2.99 plan. Several peo

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
This is true. Honest question: how technical are your clients? I’m trying to get a sense of whether there’s a market where paying $2.99 a month is a better choice than moving the domain to Cloudflare.
24.
by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Yes, the worker handles the fetch and cache. In normal use the URLs would point straight to the R2 public endpoint. Cloudflare might end up cheaper than Bunny.net. Five terabytes on Cloudflare would be about $75, but you avoid egress fees e

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
The purpose of the worker is to offload all Cloudflare configuration to a single endpoint that fetches and caches each image on demand. This removes the need for any configuration at the WordPress level and keeps credentials out of WordPres
26.
by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Yes! It’s amazing. This is an option for non-technical users or anyone who can’t or won’t move their domain to Cloudflare’s DNS.

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
Thanks! I hope to keep it simple for a long time, and ideally profitable.

Hi, yes. Jetpack has a plugin for CDN but it's very limited I actually had the experience of having to turn off that plugin because the shared URL was reported as a malicious website, and without notice raked up a bill of over $9k for

by cr1st1an 10mo ago
The idea here is that WordPress will still host and transform the images (could have many stacked plugins as a pipeline) but the plugin will rewrite the final image's URL to be served by Cloudflare. So you can benefit of whatever pipel
