About FastCloudWP
From the official readme · v1.0.6Description
WordPress media libraries grow fast. Images, videos, and documents pile up on your server, increasing disk space usage and server load with every request. FastCloudWP automatically offloads your media library to cloud storage and rewrites every URL so visitors get files from the CDN, faster and with less load on your server.
No AWS. No IAM. No S3 buckets. No storage configuration. Just create a FastCloudWP account, paste your site key into the plugin, and you’re done. Everything else is handled for you, including a 5 GB free plan, unlimited sites, no time limit.
Features
- Automatic offloading: New uploads are automatically offloaded to cloud storage immediately after processing; images, videos, documents, and all thumbnail sizes included.
- CDN URL rewriting: Frontend
srcandsrcsetattributes are rewritten on the fly to serve media from the CDN. Compatible with any theme, page builder, or plugin that uses standard WordPress media functions. - Bulk migration: Offload your entire existing media library in bulk from the admin dashboard.
- Optional local deletion: Free up disk space by removing local copies after offloading.
- Offload status tracking: Each attachment is tracked (
queued,pending,offloaded) so you always know what’s been moved. - WP-CLI support: Offload media and free disk space from the command line, with progress bars.
- Settings UI: Clean admin interface to connect, configure, and monitor everything.
Pro Plan
Upgrade to Pro for more storage and advanced features:
- 100 GB storage (20x the free plan)
- Custom CDN domain: serve assets from your own domain, e.g.
cdn.yoursite.com - Direct restore to WordPress: restore offloaded media back to your server in one click
- Priority support

External Services
This plugin connects to the FastCloudWP service to store and deliver your media files.
When you connect the plugin, your site communicates with the FastCloudWP API at https://app.fastcloudwp.com/ to authenticate, offload media files, and receive delivery status callbacks. Media files uploaded to WordPress are transmitted to FastCloudWP’s servers and served to visitors from the FastCloudWP CDN.
This service is operated by FastCloudWP. Please review their policies before using the plugin:
No data is sent to FastCloudWP until you explicitly connect the plugin using your site key.
Installation
- Install and activate the plugin using WordPress’ built-in installer.
- Access FastCloudWP from the WordPress admin menu.
- Register for a free account at fastcloudwp.com.
- Create a new website in your FastCloudWP dashboard.
- Copy your site key and paste it into the plugin, then click Connect.
- Use the Offload tab to migrate your existing media library in bulk.
Frequently asked questions
Is setup really that simple?
Yes. Install the plugin, paste your site key, done. No AWS account, no IAM policies, no bucket config, no wp-config.php edits. If you can copy a password, you can set up FastCloudWP.
Will this break my site or hurt my SEO?
No. Every media URL is rewritten automatically and kept in sync. Your site looks identical to visitors and to Google — the only difference is that images now load from the CDN instead of your server.
Will I get surprise bandwidth bills if my site goes viral?
Never. Bandwidth and CDN delivery are included on every plan. One flat monthly price based on storage — no egress fees, no per-request charges, no overages.
Does it work with WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi, or ACF?
Yes. FastCloudWP rewrites URLs across the full WordPress filter graph, so page builders, custom fields, galleries, and WooCommerce product images all serve from the CDN with zero extra config.
What’s the catch with the free plan?
There isn’t one. 5 GB, unlimited sites, full bulk migration, full CDN, no time limit. The free tier exists so you can prove it works before you pay anything.

1.0.2
