I am not a member of the Wikimedia Maps team, but I
assume that like many other organizations that render map tiles, they do not pre-render
these tiles because that is a waste of disk space. Please refer to the following page for
more information:

That's true.
In particular, pre-rendering all tiles would use
approximately 54 TB of storage and majority of them are never viewed by the end user. So
most map tile servers generally just render tiles as needed and then cache them.
Do you have any idea on how to put wikimedia tiles under a CDN like
Cloudflare ? Current tiles are hosting at about 220ms from here.
I've thought to regenerate them on the fly with a local tileserver but
we have to import the whole europe/world map to Postgresql and this
takes weeks and tons of ram that we don't have.
