We serve over 100 WordPress websites, some with relatively high traffic. I've never encountered a Cloudflare issue with image caching. I am a little confused about what this is all about.

We also have our own CDN-ish DigitalOcean droplets with Terabytes of data transfer available (stacked droplets increase the TB limit under the same account, too). This is a $10-$15 solution for 100+ WordPress sites.

Small droplets (DigitalOcean, Vultr, or managed like CloudWays) offer multi-TB bandwidth for data transfers. With the WebP format, even the highest-resolution image is under 100 KB. We try to keep everything under 50 KB for mobile optimization as well. I don't see sites using 50 GB per month and always below the limits. Why would anyone need an extra layer of complication?
