The Problem

Why this matters

Server Storage Filling Up

5-10x
storage per image

WordPress stores every uploaded image plus multiple generated sizes. Media libraries quickly consume gigabytes of hosting storage, leading to upgrade fees or running out of space.

Slow Backup & Migration

Hours
typical migration time

Large media libraries make backups slow and migrations painful. Moving a site with thousands of images can take hours or days, with high failure rates.

Server Resource Drain

80%
of server bandwidth

Serving media files consumes CPU, memory, and bandwidth on your WordPress host. This leaves fewer resources for dynamic content and can slow down your admin dashboard.

No Redundancy

1

If your hosting storage fails, your media library could be lost. Most WordPress hosts don't offer geographic redundancy for uploaded files.

How It Works

The OptiPixl Solution

Offload to Cloud Storage

Move your WordPress media library to cloud storage. Highly redundant, globally distributed, and far more cost-effective than server storage.

Delete Originals Safely

After offloading, optionally delete local copies to reclaim server storage. We keep your originals safe and continue serving all optimized versions.

Seamless WordPress Integration

The media library works exactly as before. Upload, edit, and manage images through WordPress - we handle the storage and delivery behind the scenes.

Full Asset Support

Offload images, videos, documents, and any file type WordPress accepts. PDFs, MP4s, fonts - everything goes to the cloud with the same workflow.

Automatic Sync

New uploads are automatically offloaded. Edit an image in WordPress and changes sync automatically. No manual intervention required.

Faster Site Migrations

With media offloaded, your WordPress installation is much smaller. Migrations and backups complete in minutes instead of hours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does WordPress media offload mean?

Media offloading moves your WordPress uploads (images, videos, documents) from your web server to cloud storage. Instead of serving files from your hosting account, they're delivered from a global CDN. This reduces server load, frees up storage space, and improves performance.

Where are my offloaded files stored?

OptiPixl uses S3-compatible cloud storage with no egress fees. Your files are redundantly stored across multiple data centers and delivered via our global CDN with 300+ edge locations.

Can I delete original files from WordPress after offloading?

Yes! Once files are offloaded, you can safely delete the local copies from your WordPress server to reclaim storage. We keep your original high-resolution files and continue serving optimized versions to visitors.

Will my WordPress media library still work normally?

Absolutely. The WordPress media library, attachment pages, and image editing tools all work exactly as before. Our plugin transparently handles the storage and URL rewriting so you don't need to change your workflow.

What happens to my files if I cancel my subscription?

Your files remain in storage and accessible. We provide export tools to download your media library if you want to move files back to your server or another service. We don't hold your files hostage.

How much storage do I get with each plan?

Free plan includes 100MB storage. Starter ($19/mo) includes 10GB, Growth ($39/mo) includes 25GB. Higher plans offer even more storage. All plans include the same optimization and CDN delivery features.

Is media offloading different from using Amazon S3?

OptiPixl is simpler than DIY S3 setups. We handle all the configuration, optimize images on-the-fly, and deliver via CDN - all from one plugin. No AWS credentials to manage, no complex bucket policies, and no surprise egress fees.
