Sounds like a caching problem. Did you follow the guide: [Use SilverBullet with Cloudflare Zero Trust](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/use-silverbullet-with-cloudflare-zero-trust/3618)?

> Under “Domains” select your domain. Then on the left under “Caching” select “Cache Rules” and “Create a new rule”.
> 
> Give it a descriptive name like “Bypass cache for SB”. Then select “Custom filter expression” and under “When incoming requests match…” With Field “URI Full” and Operator “wildcard” enter as Value `https://silverbullet.test.com/*` and under “Cache eligibility” enter “Bypass cache”.

I forgot this step as well initially. After fixing it, images appear immediately.
