I’m a huge fan of the various Cloudflare offerings, and have been impressed time after time with the innovations and solutions offered by CF. This writeup therefore pains me, as I usually don’t have anything negative to say about CF, but after some months in production, and a severe lack of any meaningful reply from the CF Images team addressing any of these concerns (you won’t find a single official response in any of the linked community posts), I find it necessary to inform about some aspects of CF Images that I frankly find both surprising, concerning and disappointing. I will update this list when issues have been addressed.
Update 2022-03-15: The CF Team added a fix for “6. “Direct Creator Upload” is essentially useless” the 15th of February
Update 2022-03-16: The CF Team added a fix for “2. No way to track how many images has been served”, though I’m not certain when. This was brought to my attention by Discord user k8s
