Wordpress - Shortpixel via Autoptimizer or local images cached by Cloudflare?

#1

Which would be better for performance?

#2

If you optimize images locally you burn CPU but save BW
If you don’t, you save CPU and use more BW

It’s a trade-off at server side and neglectable.
Cloudflare (CF) caches images by default but you might to optimize images in sake of your clients.

I always run them through TinyJPG before uploading.

I think I’m going to set up a subdomain on my site for media tomorrow and do it that way.
