> Cloudflare free is like magic

Cloudflare is pretty strict about the Html to media ratio and might suspend or terminate your account if you are serving too many images.

I've read far too many horror stories about this on hn only so please make sure what you're doing is allowed by their TOS.



do they ever publish an actual number on this? given the size of HTML documents v.s. images, I imagine its something thats something that can be exceeded very easily without knowing..

e.g. is running a personal photography website OK?


Cloudflare removed those restrictions from the TOS 12+ months ago.

Take a look at if Cloudflare Pages + Cloudflare R2 meets the needs of your site.

I'd also recommend using cloudflare tunnels (under Zero Trust) rather than punching a hole in your firewall. For a number of reasons.


Cloudflare removed that bit from their TOS entirely about a year ago now. Are you citing a more recent source?

PS: talking about Cloudflare being snappy when content is being served from a austore nas made me chuckle.


I think the OP meant once the resource was cached by Cloudflare. The first time served is not snappy.
