Reducing requests to your server
Your server no longer has to serve images, CSS, JS, videos, PDFs, zips, and other files. It can focus all its resources on processing PHP and serving WordPress pages faster.
What a perfect little plugin. I really enjoy when I don't have to write something from scratch. Works just as intended, and friendly support to boot.
View on WordPress.orgWP Offload™ S3 copies files from your WordPress Media Library to Amazon S3 and rewrites URLs to serve the files from S3, CloudFront, or another CDN. And with the Assets addon, it can identify assets (CSS, JS, images, etc) used by your site, copy them to S3, and serve them from S3, CloudFront, or another CDN.
Your server no longer has to serve images, CSS, JS, videos, PDFs, zips, and other files. It can focus all its resources on processing PHP and serving WordPress pages faster.
Images, CSS, JS, fonts, and other files will download faster, speeding up page load time. CloudFront and other CDNs are designed for exactly this.
In a 2010 study, Akamai found that 57% of visitors will abandon a page if it takes 3 or more seconds to load. The faster a page loads, the happier the visitor, the more likely they'll stick around, click through to the next page, and buy a product or submit a form.
Google is obsessed with speed and since 2010 they've included page speed as a signal in their search algorithms. So by speeding up the load time of your pages, you can improve your position in search results, driving more organic traffic to your site, and increasing conversions and sales.
Start uploading and watch it progress. Want to work from the coffee shop? Hit Pause, then Resume when you get back to the office. Need to reboot? Just Cancel and start it again later. It will pick up where it stopped.
When you initiate an upload of your Media Library to S3, you can choose to run a find & replace on all your existing content, replacing URLs to the file on your server with the new S3/CloudFront URLs.
We've sprinkled controls throughout the Media Library making WordPress feel like it has native support for S3. You can bulk select files and choose to copy them to S3, remove them from S3, or copy them back to the server from S3. Or you can view a single file, review its S3 details, copy it to S3, remove it from S3, and if the file is missing on your server, copy it from S3.
We've put a lot of effort into organizing our settings screen, making it a pleasure to use. From the custom ON/OFF switches, to the URL preview, to the titles and copy, everything has been carefully thought out.
I looked everywhere for a solution that would send my media to S3 storage AND allow Amazon CloudFront to serve it, and each review I read or google result I followed said to try W3TotalCache - but W3TC only does one or the other. This plugin, however, does BOTH...
View on WordPress.orgI've installed this plugin for basically all my WordPress sites as it allows you to completely store the actual content of your site in a separate location. It also relieves your php server from having to serve up all those PDF files and images.
