Hi Anton,

Thank you so much for the clarification and just to make sure that we are on the same page, when an image is offloaded to cloudflare, it is compressed by cloudflare and is served the next time. However, an image is not compressed on the sever.

Also, what happens with the current shortpixel image compression plugin I have installed ? Do I keep it or can I disable it. I was wondering if I get more performance in the sense that the shortpixel plugin compresses an image first which then again get compressed by cloudflare when offloaded . Does that even work ?

Also, I do not need image “tranformations” required for my use case right. Just having images compressed and served from cloudflare in wordpress pages in ehatever size they are embedded in pages.

Can you also shed any info about how cloudflare images are billed ? I am on the pro plan and I have also opted for cloudflare images if I understand correctly. I will be charged $5 for 100,000 images and what is this 100.000 images.

• are they 100,000 offloaded images ?
• are they 100,000 image served as page impressions. I mean all images combined is displayed 100,000 on a browser

I just wanted to make sure I am not getting a huge bill. Reddit has some horror stories about cloudflare images. These are old and I guess involves transformations but can you please take a look and offer any guidance ?

New cloudflare images pricing still seems expensive for obvious use cases.

Thanks Yehudah, really appreciate the support. In that case, the GMAIL API will not work for me as I have a full fledged forum and woocommerce set up with lots of sign ups. Now that I have a hold of you, can I pick your brain and get your recommendation on what would be a good fit for approx 1000 emails a day ?
