Offload WordPress files to CDN
Move repeat media delivery away from the WordPress origin while editors keep uploading and managing files in the normal WordPress admin.
The problem
WordPress can become the delivery origin for every uploaded image, PDF, audio file, video, and download. That is convenient at first, but media-heavy sites can push a lot of repeated file traffic through application hosting.
Separate offload plugins, optimization plugins, and protection tools often create a fragmented setup that is harder for site teams to reason about.
WordPress origin handles repeat file delivery
Large media slows hosting plans
Separate plugins for offload and optimization
Harder control over protected files
Media URLs managed inconsistently
Solution
Smooth CDN Connector lets WordPress stay the source of media while CDN delivery takes over repeat file serving. The same workflow can also handle optimization, protected assets, and unused asset review.
1
Install and enable Smooth CDN Connector
Install Smooth CDN Connector, connect your WordPress site with a Smooth CDN project, and prepare your media library for CDN delivery, URL rewriting, asset optimization, and media offload workflows.
2
Install and enable Smooth CDN Connector
Open the plugin settings and select Mode Sync, rewrite URLs and offload Media files. Smooth CDN will sync uploaded files, rewrite WordPress media URLs to CDN URLs, and offload media delivery away from your WordPress server.
3
Enjoy CDN delivery and optimized assets
Your website can now serve media assets directly from Smooth CDN with automatic optimization and CDN delivery. If needed, you can always restore assets back to your WordPress server and switch away from CDN delivery later.
What You get
A WordPress media workflow where publishing stays familiar, but repeat delivery, optimization, and selected access control can move to Smooth CDN.
Less repeat file traffic from WordPress hosting
CDN URLs for uploaded media
One plugin for offload and related asset workflows
Editors keep using the WordPress media library
Let WordPress publish. Let CDN deliver.
Offload media delivery without replacing the WordPress workflow your team already uses.
