Advanced Media Offloader

Description

Advanced Media Offloader automatically uploads media attachments from your WordPress site to an S3-compatible cloud storage, replacing the URLs appropriately to serve the media from the cloud. This can help reduce server load, increase page speed, and optimize media delivery.

Features

• Automatic upload of new media attachments to S3-compatible cloud storage.
• Rewrites URLs for media files to serve them directly from cloud storage.
• Bulk offload media to cloud storage (50 files per batch in the free version).
• Provides hooks for further extension.

Using the S3 PHP SDK

The Advanced Media Offloader utilizes the AWS SDK for PHP to interact with S3-compatible cloud storage. This powerful SDK provides an easy-to-use API for managing your cloud storage operations, including file uploads, downloads, and more. The SDK is maintained by Amazon Web Services, ensuring high compatibility and performance with S3 services.

FAQ

Does this plugin support other cloud storage platforms?

Currently, the plugin supports only Cloudflare R2 DigitalOcean Spaces & MinIO, but we are working on adding support for other cloud storage platforms such as Amazon S3 and more.

What happens to the media files already uploaded on my server?

They will remain on your server, and they will be served from your server.

How does the plugin handle media files that are already uploaded to my cloud storage?

The plugin will automatically detect and rewrite URLs for these files, so they can be served from the cloud storage.

What happens to media files uploading to my cloud storage?

By default, uploaded files remain on your server after offloading. However, you can now choose to delete local files after successful upload to the Cloud Storage via the settings page. Note that even if you opt for deletion, the original file is always kept on the server for backup. Only custom-sized versions are removed locally when this option is enabled.

I have two servers, one hosting Wordpress and one hosting static files. Previously, I have been using the manual method of uploading files.Now with Advanced Media Offloader, I can finally upload images directly from wordpress to the other server. It’s awesome!
