Hi,
Using Jetpack Image CDN (formerly Photon) with Cloudflare cache should work well together. They complement each other nicely since they serve different purposes:
How they work together:
- Jetpack Image CDN optimizes and serves your images from WordPress.com’s global CDN, automatically resizing and compressing them
- Cloudflare cache (via Super Page Cache) caches your entire pages and assets at the edge for faster delivery
A few things to consider:
- Avoid double optimization – If you’re using Cloudflare’s image optimization features (like Polish or Mirage), disable them since Jetpack is already handling image optimization. This prevents conflicts and unnecessary processing.
- Cache headers – The Super Page Cache plugin should handle this, but make sure cache headers are properly configured so Cloudflare knows how to cache the Jetpack-served images.
In my opinion, this is actually a good combination for performance. Just make sure to monitor your site initially to ensure everything is working smoothly.
Hope this helps!
