Speed Up Your WordPress Site

Offload your media and assets to DigitalOcean Spaces/Google Cloud Storage/Amazon S3 and serve them lightning fast

The #1 WordPress Plugin for Serving Media and Assets

WP Offload™ Media is a WordPress plugin that stores your media files and assets in the cloud and serves them from a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Speed up your site by reducing server requests and loading your media and assets faster. Lightning-fast pages keep your visitors happy, increase conversion rates, and drive more sales.

Why Site Performance Matters

Search Engine Optimization

Google is obsessed with speed. Since 2010 they've included page speed as a ranking signal in their search algorithms. Lower page speed means a negative impact on your page rank for search engine results, meaning less organic traffic to your site.

Decrease Bounce Rate

More than half of your visitors will abandon your site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. Every time someone abandons your site, your search engine rankings are negatively affected, and fewer and fewer potential customers find you in the first place.

Increase Conversions

A great experience when visiting your site has a direct, positive impact on turning your visitors into customers. A happy visitor is more likely to become a paying customer.

Customer Satisfaction

If you’ve convinced a visitor to buy your product or service, you’ll want to keep them satisfied throughout the shopping experience. Making sure your cart and checkout process is fast is crucial!

Why Store WordPress Media in the Cloud?

Free Up Server Disk Space

WP Offload Media offers the option to remove local media files from the server once they’ve been uploaded to cloud storage (a.k.a. object storage), freeing up disk space on your server. Of course, you can choose to leave this option off so that files remain on the server in addition to residing in the cloud. It’s your choice.

Backup and Restore Media

Cloud storage services like Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Google Cloud Storage offer versioning features that can be enabled with a flip of a switch. With WP Offload Media uploading every media item to your cloud storage with versioning enabled, every media item uploaded will be preserved. Even if a file is deleted, the service will keep a version you can restore later.

Share Media Between Servers & Environments

Storing your media in the cloud means it’s portable. Migrating your WordPress site from one server to another? If your media is already in the cloud, that’s one less thing you need to move. Or maybe you want to share a Media Library between development environments? You can configure each environment with the same WP Offload Media settings, allowing each site to read/write from the same object storage bucket. No need to sync media between environments.

Solve Load Balancing

When setting up a load-balanced WordPress site across multiple servers, you may run into a problem wherein uploaded media lands on one server but not the others. How can we share the Media Library across multiple servers? The answer is simply to offload it to cloud storage with WP Offload Media.

Your Fastest WordPress Site

Whenever a user visits a page on your site, the server has to process not only the request for the page itself, but also any media (photos, videos, etc.) and assets (CSS, JavaScript, fonts, etc.) required for the page. WP Offload Media allows you to serve media and asset files from Amazon CloudFront or another CDN, bypassing your server entirely. This opens up server resources that can be focused on processing PHP and serving your WordPress pages faster. With just a few clicks, it becomes your fastest WordPress site!
