## Description

Offload- Media Cloud Storage is an innovative plugin for WordPress. It will dramatically
transform how you interact with media in WordPress and increase the website’s performance.
Media Cloud Storage is a way to transfer your files, media, and images from a WordPress
server to online cloud storage, such as Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Cloudflare
R2, and Google Cloud Storage Services. And it rewrites the URL to serve files from
the same storage provider or another CDN provider.

### HOW TO MANAGE SETTINGS?

To manage settings in the Offload Media Cloud Storage, download and activate the
WordPress plugin.
 Go to the Offload media menu in the left menu bar of WordPress,
where you can manage the settings. The settings include configure and Settings. 
Configure settings allow you to set up the basic plugin settings, while Settings
help for the customization of the media upload and serving strategies.

###  Basic Features

It improves your website speed. Your website will load more efficiently if the cloud
media is being transferred to cloud servers. It can make your website faster because

## FAQ

### What is WordPress media offloading and how does it improve SEO?

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.

### Which cloud storage providers are supported in the free version?

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.

### Can I serve offloaded media files via a custom CDN?

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.

### Does the plugin delete local media library files after uploading them to the cloud?

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.

### Are private files supported using secure pre-signed URLs?

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.

### Is this plugin compatible with WooCommerce and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)?

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.

### Why should I upgrade to Offload Media – Cloud Storage Pro?

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.

I recently upgraded to the Pro version of Offload Media – Cloud Storage by Acowebs,
and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The plugin is incredibly user-friendly
while still offering powerful features that make media management a breeze. I had
a few minor hiccups while transitioning from the free version, but their support
team was fantastic, responsive, helpful, and got everything running smoothly in 
no time. The plugin effortlessly offloaded over 33,000 media assets to my cloud 
storage without a hitch. A huge thank you to the team for developing such a great
tool and backing it up with excellent support. Highly recommended!

 [Josh Journey](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ljosh/) Aprel 17, 2025

I’ve tested all the major media offloaders and this one is the best! Images upload
swiftly, media management behaves as one would expect, and setup was a breeze on
the plugin end. Support is swift, coming in with a custom solution to a feature 
I had wanted – image resize on upload. This allows uploads to be better sized to
save storage space and bandwidth. I’m very thankful this solution exists! Offload
Media Cloud Storage comes highly recommended! 😊

Hello, Thank you so much for the helpful information! I’ll check out the information
about the paid version. I also wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the
excellent customer service for the free version of the ‘Offload Plugin’ you’ve provided.
It’s truly refreshing to encounter a company that not only promises great support,
but actually delivers on it.These days, it’s all too common for companies to fall
short, so your responsiveness and helpfulness are very much valued. Regards,Uwe
