Description

Linked Media Without Import” allows you to use images from external URLs in your media library without actually downloading them to your server.
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).
By linking to media instead of importing, you can improve your website’s overall performance, especially if your site uses many large images.
