Upload
assets to CDN
Push WordPress media into Smooth CDN from the familiar admin workflow.
CDN CONNECTOR
The all-in-one media plugin your WordPress site actually needs
Send WordPress media to Smooth CDN, optimize files automatically, offload delivery, protect selected uploads, and find unused media from one plugin.
More than a connector plugin
Smooth CDN Connector for WordPress replaces several media tools with one workflow for CDN delivery, protection, and cleanup.
Optimize
asset delivery
Prepare images, audio, video, PDFs, and supported files for lighter delivery.
Offload
local delivery
Move repeat file delivery away from the WordPress origin when local hosting should do less work.
Protect
selected files
Keep public media simple and add token-aware access only where assets should stay gated.
Detect
unused assets
Spot files that are no longer needed so CDN storage and WordPress media workflows stay easier to clean up.
One plugin, several WordPress asset workflows
WordPress stays familiar for editors and site teams. Smooth CDN expands what the media workflow can do after upload.
Step 1
Connect WordPress once
Install the plugin, connect your Smooth CDN project, and keep WordPress as the publishing interface.
Step 2
Choose the asset jobs you need
Use one plugin to upload, optimize, offload, protect, and review unused assets instead of stitching together multiple tools.
Step 3
Run a cleaner media workflow
Serve CDN-hosted assets with optimization and offload enabled, then add protection or cleanup controls only where they help.
Optimization is built into the same plugin workflow
The same plugin that uploads assets to Smooth CDN can also prepare lighter delivery for images, audio, video, PDFs, and other supported files.
Before
hero.png (2.4 MB)
Optimized
hero.png (420 KB)hero.webp (180KB)hero.avif (95KB)
Smooth CDN optimizes the PNG, creates WebP and AVIF variants, then serves the best version from the original PNG URL.
Before
app.js (320 KB)
Optimized
app.js (110 KB)
JavaScript is minified and compressed while the public URL stays stable.
Before
podcast.mp3 (18 MB)
Optimized
podcast.m4a (11 MB)
Audio files can be compressed and cached for faster media delivery.
Before
launch.mov (46 MB)
Optimized
launch.m4v (21 MB)
Video files can be compressed for lighter delivery while keeping stable CDN URLs.
Before
catalog.pdf (8.5 MB)
Optimized
catalog.pdf (4.1 MB)
PDF files can be optimized, compressed, and served from CDN cache.
Protect assets without making the whole media library private
Keep normal frontend media public. Turn on token-based access only for the WordPress files that should stay gated.
