FAQ about media offload to S3

What is media offload to S3?

It means moving your images, videos, and documents from your local hosting to Amazon S3, a cloud storage service. The plugin keeps files accessible from WordPress.

Will image links break?

No. WPtoCloud automatically updates URLs to serve from S3, but it is transparent to WordPress and your visitors.

Does it really improve performance?

Yes, significantly: less local disk I/O, less CPU load, better throughput. Especially if you use CloudFront or a CDN.

How much does S3 cost?

It depends on usage. Storage generally costs cents per GB per month. Data transfer varies by region. WPtoCloud handles offload; AWS costs are yours based on consumption.
