Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Offload Media – Cloud Storage

WordPress media offloading is the process of automatically copying your media files (images, PDFs, videos, and audio) to a secure cloud storage provider and rewriting their URLs so they are served directly from the cloud or a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Offloading media dramatically reduces the load on your web server, speeds up page loading times, and saves server disk space. Since Google uses page speed as a ranking factor, faster loading times directly translate to improved search engine optimization (SEO) and a better user experience.

The free version of Offload Media - Cloud Storage natively supports: * Amazon S3 (AWS) * Google Cloud Storage (GCS) * Cloudflare R2 * DigitalOcean Spaces If you need support for Wasabi, MinIO, or custom S3-compatible storage services, you can upgrade to the Pro version.

Yes! Both the free and Pro versions allow you to configure a Custom CDN / Custom Endpoint URL (such as Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront, KeyCDN, or Bunny CDN) to serve your offloaded media. This ensures that your assets are delivered from the edge server closest to your site visitors, resulting in lightning-fast response times.

Yes, you can enable the "Remove files from server" option in the settings. Once enabled, the plugin will automatically delete the local copy of an image or file from your WordPress server after it has been successfully offloaded to your cloud storage bucket. This is an excellent way to host large media libraries on affordable, small-storage web servers.

Yes! You can enable the "Enable Pre-signed URL" feature. This generates secure, temporary, and expiring URLs for private files or digital assets, protecting your content from unauthorized sharing. You can customize the URL expiration time (in minutes) directly in the settings dashboard.

Yes! Offload Media is built to be fully compatible with WooCommerce, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), and WPML. It handles rewriting URLs for WooCommerce product pages and ACF custom image/file fields, ensuring that translation workflows and e-commerce transactions run smoothly.

The Pro version unlocks advanced optimization and automation capabilities for growing websites: * Additional Providers: Support for Wasabi, MinIO, and custom S3-compatible endpoints. * Bulk Tools: Bulk sync all historical media items, bulk download assets back to the server, and bulk delete local files via a safe background worker. * Advanced Media Library UI: Adds an "Offload Status" column with sorting, plus manual sync, download, and delete actions in the attachment details panel. * Image Optimization & WebP: Compress images, automatically generate and compress WebP versions, sync them to the cloud, and dynamically rewrite URLs to serve WebP files. * Google Cloud Uniform Bucket Access: Dedicated support for uniform access permissions.
