Sirv
Pros
- + On-the-fly image transformation from URL parameters — no build-time processing pipeline to maintain
- + 360° spin and deep zoom are first-class, not add-ons, which is what product photography actually needs
- + Generous free tier with S3 and FTP access, so originals stay portable
- + Soft limits instead of hard cutoffs — a traffic spike does not break the site
- + Long track record (since 2007) and a 99.999% SLA on Enterprise
Cons
- - 20 GB transfer on the $19 Business plan is thin for media-heavy stores; scale pricing needs a custom conversation
- - No published uptime commitment below Enterprise — failover and off-site replication are $999/month features
- - Video delivery is a secondary feature, not competitive with dedicated video platforms
- - Small vendor (roughly a dozen staff, unfunded) — weigh continuity risk and keep originals exported
Cloudflare Pages
Pros
- + Unlimited sites, seats, requests and bandwidth even on the free tier
- + Preview deployment for every commit, unlimited previews on all plans
- + Pages Functions run on the Workers runtime with KV, D1, Durable Objects and R2 bindings
- + Builds and TLS are fully managed; zero server configuration
- + Flat plan pricing — delivery volume never changes the bill
Cons
- - Build limits (500/month Free) bind long before bandwidth does
- - 20,000-file and 25 MiB per-file ceilings push media-heavy sites to R2
- - Hard platform boundary: no persistent servers, no arbitrary runtimes
- - Shared build infrastructure can queue during peak periods
- - No uptime SLA below the Business plan
