WordPress, and Cloudflare Expert Needed to Fix Persistent Image Loading Issue

We are looking for an experienced WordPress, Cloudflare, and LiteSpeed caching expert to diagnose and permanently fix an image-loading issue on our website. Problem Description: Our website uses: • WordPress + WooCommerce • Cloudflare CDN / Proxy • LiteSpeed Web Server • LiteSpeed Cache • WebP images • Browser and edge caching The issue is unusual because images work correctly initially, but after the website has been open/used for approximately 7–10 days, some images may stop displaying or appear blank/broken in an existing browser session. Important observations: • The affected images usually work correctly in Incognito/Private mode. • Clearing browser cache or using a fresh session can make the images work again. • Cloudflare may report the image as cf-cache-status: HIT. • The origin image/file exists and is valid. • The problem appears after a long period rather than immediately after deployment. • We want to determine whether the root cause is related to Cloudflare edge cache, browser cache, LiteSpeed cache, WebP delivery, cache headers, stale objects, or interaction between these caching layers. • We do not want a temporary solution that requires customers to manually clear their browser cache. What we need The developer should: 1. Investigate the complete request/caching chain: Browser → Cloudflare → LiteSpeed → WordPress/Origin 2. Identify the exact reason why images become unavailable/broken after several days. 3. Check: • Cloudflare cache rules • Browser Cache-Control / Expires headers • Cloudflare cache behavior • LiteSpeed image/cache behavior • WebP rewrite/delivery • ETag / Last-Modified • Age and CF-Cache-Status • Content-Type and Content-Length • Stale cache objects • Cache revalidation • Cloudflare APO/cache interaction if applicable 4. Reproduce the issue or establish a reliable way to test it. 5. Provide a permanent fix, not simply: • Disable Cloudflare • Disable caching • Ask users to clear their browser cache • Bypass all image caching 6. Preserve the performance benefits of Cloudflare and LiteSpeed caching. 7. Make sure the solution does not negatively affect: • PageSpeed/LCP • WebP delivery • WooCommerce • logged-in users • dynamic AJAX functionality • WordPress admin • existing Cloudflare rules Required Experience: Please apply only if you have strong practical experience with: • Cloudflare CDN/cache • WordPress • WooCommerce • LiteSpeed / OpenLiteSpeed • LiteSpeed Cache plugin • HTTP caching headers • Browser caching • WebP image delivery • Cloudflare cache troubleshooting • Chrome DevTools/network debugging • curl / HTTP header analysis Deliverables • Root-cause analysis • Explanation of why the problem appears only after approximately 7–10 days • Exact configuration/code changes required • Permanent fix • Testing of the fix • Documentation of the final Cloudflare/LiteSpeed cache configuration Please do not apply if your solution is simply to disable Cloudflare or disable image caching. When applying, please briefly describe a similar Cloudflare + WordPress/LiteSpeed caching issue you have solved and how you diagnosed it. Thank You!
