    20 dollars/mo per site is insanity.

    I can go get APO cloudflare for $5, the free plan is legit adware, and not cool as you’re one of the only plugins on wordpress doing this. Its not cool at all, take it down as soon as possible. Its unprofessional and desperate and i say this respectfully.

    Your business idea while profitable, is immoral.
    I believe you should offer the following for increased sales.

    1gb free – Remove the adware asap, just do hidden links for seo instead.

    10gb Paid – 2.50/mo per site. You undercut APO, and you’ll grow loyalty with small sites once they grow, therefore you build a stronger foundation.

    20gb paid – $5/mo per site. Again you’re priced with APO (which doesnt have bandwith limits btw); you’re offering more — and therefore you’ll grow drastically with exposure.

    50gb paid – $10 – fair value and fair price.

    100GB paid – $20

    When you fix these issues, i’ll personally update this review, and commend you and your efforts. And I’ll personally be a customer. Think scale, how do you scale? By posting a banner on sites? No long term you’ll hurt yourself.

    You scale thinking long term, get customers in at a lower cost, when they scale (if your plugin does as much as you claim) you’ll reap the additional growth of your clients.

    Hi @mittwaffen,

    Thank you for the feedback!

    The NitroPack footer badge is present on all Free plans, and that’s described on our public pricing page and purchase screen.

    It appears there is a misconseption about what APO does and how is it different than a speed optimization solution like NitroPack. Cloudflare’s APO is page caching on their edge servers using Cloudflare workers. There is one added optimization which is to inline the CSS for google fonts. It is different compared to the HTML caching provided in the free plan in the way that it is built on the workers infrastructure and it ties into WordPress in order to purge its cache automatically when content is updated/published. Besides that APO doesn’t provide any other speed optimizations.

    NitroPack on the other hand provides much more than that. To list a few of the differences we do image optimization, image lazy loading, JavaScript and CSS optimization, applying critical CSS on a per page basis, cache invalidation, an incredibly flexible cache preloader, unique resource loading algorithm and more. None of these features are available in APO. In order to get image optimization in Cloudflare you need to get at least the Pro plan, which starts at $20/month and you will still not get any of the other types of optimizations that NitroPack provides.

    We believe we provide a package more complete than any other solution out there on a very competitive price considering what we offer ??

    Regards,
