Amazon S3 implementation
-
Hello,
This is great! Is there a way to get the newly-saved image into an Amazon S3 bucket instead of the default WordPress upload folder?
Even further, can this edit an image from a URL – for instance, an Amazon S3 bucket file (image)?
This would greatly keep things less bloated since the addition of new images will in turn make more images in addition. The default action of WordPress is to make copies of the new image added to the upload folder that will include at least three thumbnail versions/recreations of the same image.
Original image: 1 (+) 3 more thumbnails = 4
New edited image: 1 (+) 3 more thumbnails = 4
[…you’ll now have a total of 8 images out of 1 image!]…yes is good to display a smaller version for browsers, but in good practice it should be that already before you upload it. ??
This means that if you have 100 images, it’ll quickly turn into 800..!!
If you’re on a shared hosting environment, I think most people are you’re bloating your account, not to mention your WordPress installation.Amazon S3 would be fantastic to save the new image and serve it that much faster and that much efficiently.
Kind regards.
