This reduces server load, improves SEO, and creates a better experience for your users. With SmartSync <a href="https://codecanyon.net/item/wp-smartsync-wordpress-plugin-for-media-assets-cdn-cloud-storage/56335604" rel="nofollow ugc">Pro</a>, enabling CDN is as simple as flipping a switch!

Publitio Offloading

I have used the offloading plugin from time to time and it is so sweet to be able to just have all your media not be on your web server. I mostly use Publitio for the video hosting so I don't have enough space for all my images as well but the plugin works really really well and I woudl use it in a heart beat if I had enough space. 

Great Option to Save Space on Your Site

With this plugin, we could make our website faster. But not only that, the load balancing enables better Lighthouse values and in addition the contents are secured. Super.

Faster websites - I like it
