Providing the Cloudflare configuration in the plugin settings will allow the plugin to automatically configure Cloudflare for your website.

If you are a Pro, Business or Enterprise Cloudflare’s customer, you will be able to use our Xilifox Image Optimizer plugin with active Cloudflare CDN Caching.
For Cloudflare free plans, our plugin will disable Cloudflare CDN Caching (but images in WebP and AVIF format will be displayed correctly). The Cache-Control header will be set to private. This is because in the Cloudflare free plans does not support the Accept header (read more). Available “Vary for Images” in your Cloudflare plan is necessary to use Cloudflare CDN Caching when loading WebP and AVIF files.
