Supercharge WordPress Sites: WP Offload S3 for Amazon S3 & CloudFront
WP Offload S3
After WP Migrate DB Pro, the Delicious Brains team has released the WordPress plugin WP Offload S3 last year. It allows you to speed up your WordPress sites in no time by offloading files located in your WordPress Media Library to Amazon S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service). Via the Assets addon, CSS and JS files as well as images can then be delivered from S3, CloudFront or any other content delivery network (CDN). As of September 2018, the plugin is officially compatible with WPML.

Addons
Delicious Brains have developed a total of six addons for WP Offload™ S3. The Assets addon will automatically upload all CSS, JS, images and fonts from WordPress core, theme and plugin folders to S3. URls will then be rewritten and delivered from S3, CloudFront, or any other CDN. It is included in Gold plans and better.
Also, they are providing five so-called compatibility addons which integrate WP Offload S3 with the following popular third-party plugins and add additional functionality:
- Easy Digital Downloads
- WooCommerce
- WPML
- Meta Slider
- Enable Media Replace
Above addons cannot be purchased individually but are included in their plans, so make sure to choose the right one. Otherwise you would need to upgrade your plan. They are shipped with Silver licenses and better.
Delicious Brains are planning to release addons for Gravity Forms, NextGen Gallery and WP Job Manager in the near future.
Caching
WP Offload S3 is not shipped with any caching features. However, it works just fine with popular WordPress caching plugins such as WP Total Cache and WP Rocket. The latter one is used here on stubble.IO by the way.
Purchase Options, Support & Updates
Pricing for WP Offload S3 is starting from as low as $59 for up to 2k Media Library items. Any license is good for unlimited WordPress sites, only limited by the number of your Media Library items (resized images are excluded). All plans come with free updates and email support. Holders of a Gold license or better are entitled to enjoy PriorityExpert™ Email Support.
By the way, you are covered by their 60-Day Money Back Guarantee with no questions asked. They are offering various discounts for students, teachers, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations.
