Offload, Store, Resize & Optimize with Cloudflare Images

Description

Tired of using expensive CDN plugins that charge ridiculous amounts for something that should be free? Offload your media library to Cloudflare Images and let it handle everything for you – store, resize, optimize and deliver images in the best possible format to your users.

Note from the developer: The plugin is a work in progress, which I created for my personal use, because I got tired with image optimization plugins ignoring real user needs or overcharging for services. If something is not working as expected, or you want a feature added to the plugin, please create a support request, and I will do my best to make it happen.

FAQ

How does this work?

The plugin will use the Cloudflare Images service to host all supported images and serve them with the best possible settings to the user.

Is this free?

Yes, the plugin is 100% free. A Cloudflare account with activated Cloudflare Images option is required.
Cloudflare may charge a fee for the use of this feature, depending on the plan used.

What are the supported image formats?

You can upload the following image formats to Cloudflare Images:
* PNG
* GIF
* JPEG
* WebP

Are there any other limitations?

These are the maximum allowed sizes and dimensions Cloudflare Images supports:

  • Images’ height and width are limited to 10,000 pixels.
  • Image metadata is limited to 1024 bytes.
  • Images have a 10 megabyte (MB) size limit.
  • Animated GIFs, including all frames, are limited to 100 megapixels (MP).

Why are not all images being replaced in content?

This is just a first iteration of the plugin. I have tested it over a set of projects that I deployed to my clients.
If something is not working for you, please let me know by creating a support ticket on the plugin support forums.

I've been using the 'Offload, Store, Resize & Optimize with Cloudflare Images' plugin on my WordPress site for a few days now, and I have to say, I'm impressed. This plugin seamlessly integrates with Cloudflare's image CDN to deliver images quickly and efficiently, saving my server's resources and bandwidth. Overall, I highly recommend this plugin to any WordPress user who use Cloudflare and looking to improve their site's image delivery performance and reduce server load.

Super happy to see an integration with Cloudflare Images. Highly functional and seems to be working well with Rank Math, Breakdance and other plugins. I hope to see an option to offload all current images one day! 🙂

Excellent work, it saves us from all the headaches and time consuming work. just a request if you can put up a noob friendly instructional post/video for all the beginners, explaining Step by Step, it would be great. Though its just straight forward we just have to connect the plugin to our cloudflare image api, and offload and the rest will be taken care by cloudflare and they will serve the images automatically. But I again emphasis a noob friendly , instructional post or video will help us a lot. Regards

Works great. Instructions clear and easy to follow. Only suggestion is to make it clear that you need to use list view to view the upload status of files. Took a little while to figure this out.

Great plugin, thanks for the awesome job you've done. It seems to be better than 2 other paid solutions I've used. The only question is, how to delete files from the server to keep them only in cloudflare?
