Sirv CDN and Image Hosting

Hello!

Thanks for your questions.

(1) Our plugin does not conflict with Cloudflare. You can use it alongside Cloudflare. Just tell Cloudflare to ignore images served from your Sirv subdomain (or your custom subdomain). Sirv will handle your images and Cloudflare will handle your other files (HTML, JS, CSS and other static images including any images which Sirv can’t automatically sync and serve).

(2) There are no known issues with other image optimization plugins. If you find a conflict, please report it and we’ll resolve it. In general, other image optimization plugins are not required because Sirv handles the optimization (and optimizes them smaller, including automatically serving WebP format when possible).

(3) You’d continue uploading images to WordPress as normal. Sirv will automatically serve sync and serve them (on demand when the first ever user requests a new image). It just works – whatever size is requested, it’ll serve it. You can also request a specific size or crop or any other edit (80+ options) if you wish. In your Sirv account, you can upload, download, delete, move, copy etc. all your images, just like on your own filesystem on your computer. See https://my.sirv.com/.

(4) You can stop using the Sirv plugin any time. All images synced by the plugin will still exist on your own server, so WordPress will just serve your images instead. If you uploaded any images directly to Sirv – e.g. if you’re manually embedding an image into a page or post – you should update those image URLs if you close your Sirv account.

It’s easy and fast. No risk, so go ahead and install it and send us any questions!

Dave, we’d like to send you a new version to test. It should resolve the issue with Autoptimize.

What email address can we send it to? Alternatively, please message us via our user support form here:

Thanks Dave, we’re investigating this and will reply with a solution.

Brilliant to hear you’re enjoying the Sirv plugin Martin!

Could you send us a message to https://sirv.com/contact/ describing your goals with face detection/intelligent cropping please? It’ll be useful for us to understand your use case, so we can consider this ??

We were unable to replicate the issue you found. It was tested in 8 different WordPress themes. It has not been seen by other users and 9 new and improved versions of the Sirv WordPress CDN have been released since you posted this message.

This issue will be marked as resolved. Please install the latest version of the Sirv plugin and everything should work fine. New releases to the plugin have major new features including lazy loading and responsive imaging. Image sizes are even smaller too (with no loss in quality).

If you need help, please message us. Thanks!

We replicated the “blank page” issue recently. It was caused by an unusual connection issue with the S3 API, which has now been resolved. Please install the latest version of the Sirv WordPress CDN plugin and you won’t see a blank embedding page again.

If you need help, please message us. Thanks!
