<p>“<a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/linked-media-without-import" rel="ugc">Linked Media Without Import</a>” allows you to use images from external URLs in your media library without actually downloading them to your server.<br />
This approach significantly reduces your server’s storage consumption and lessens its load, as it doesn’t have to process the images (like creating thumbnails).<br />
By linking to media instead of importing, you can improve your website’s overall performance, especially if your site uses many large images.</p>
