What It Does

This plugin automatically copies images, videos, documents, and any other media added through WordPress' media uploader to Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, or Google Cloud Storage. It then automatically replaces the URL to each media file with their respective cloud storage URL or, if you have configured Amazon CloudFront or another CDN, that URL instead. Image thumbnails are also copied to the bucket and delivered through the correct remote URL.

Uploading files directly to your Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, or Google Cloud Storage account is not currently supported by this plugin. They are uploaded to your server first, then copied to the bucket. There is an option to automatically remove the files from your server once they are copied to the bucket.

If you're adding this plugin to a site that's been around for a while, your existing media files will not be copied to or served from the cloud storage. Only newly uploaded files will be copied to and served from the bucket. The pro upgrade has an upload tool to handle existing media files.

Although WP Offload Media doesn't include image optimization features, it works closely with EWWW Image Optimizer to ensure they always work well together. Not only do we recommend EWWW Image Optimizer but we officially support its integration with WP Offload Media.

The pro upgrade offers additional features, including the ability to upload existing media files to cloud storage, control offloaded files from the Media Library, and priority email support.
