I have noticed our site’s S3 image service bandwidth (transfer) costs keep going up and up. The pricing is $.09/GB and that can add up pretty fast.. I assume I am not the only site with this issue? I am paying Amazon $70/month for transfer alone now, that’s more than my VM costs. The S3 storage …

Can someone please confirm if this config works well in 2022 or not? :slight_smile:

Cloudflare has been generally good for me as well. I don’t think it caches images on the free plan though?

[圖片] NotSoSuper: I don’t think it caches images on the free plan though? mm, possibly, not sure how I could tell. All I know is that they tell me they’ve saved half my bandwidth. I do see they have some kind of non-free image-related offering.
