Description
Although it was mentioned in the wiki, I found out the hard way why its needed to whitelist the LSCache IPs & such with Cloudflare for both image optimization & critical CSS generation where it would be nice to just avoid having to manually enter over a dozen IP addresses & then figure out what to do with just ccss.api.litespeedtech.com in the Cloudflare Firewall configuration options.
So could someone add on to the Cloudflare CDN integration options to toggle whitelisting in the firewall & have it on by default so new users would have a better experience? I spent way too long wondering why the image optimization would only work sometimes & why my critical CSS code was borked.
Thanks for such a great product though!

Start with the existing Cloudflare CDN integration options described in the linked documentation and trace how those settings are applied. The work is complete when users can toggle firewall whitelisting, it is enabled by default for new users, and the required LiteSpeed IP addresses and hostname are handled automatically.
