Questions
- Does this plugin work with Gutenberg and Classic editors?
Yes! The plugin is compatible with both Gutenberg (Block Editor) and Classic Editor. After saving with AJAX, new URLs may not show immediately in the Gutenberg editor, but they are properly updated in the database and frontend.
- How does this improve my website’s SEO?
By hosting images locally, you eliminate external dependencies, reduce broken links, improve page loading speeds, and have better control over image SEO attributes like alt text and file names – all factors that positively impact search engine rankings.
- What happens to my website’s performance?
The plugin significantly improves performance by eliminating external HTTP requests for images. Local images load faster, reduce server response times, and provide a better user experience.
- Can I customize how images are named and organized?
Absolutely! Use dynamic patterns like
post-{post_id}-image-{index}for file names andImage for {post_title}for alt text. This helps with SEO and media library organization. The plugin can also automatically set the first imported image as the featured image if none exists.- What is the “Exclude Domains” feature?
You can specify trusted external domains (comma-separated) that should not be processed. This is useful for CDNs, partner sites, or other reliable external sources you want to keep as-is.
- How does the Bulk Import tool work?
The bulk import processes existing posts in batches of 10 for optimal performance and reliability. It provides detailed logs showing which images were successfully imported and any errors encountered. Failed downloads are automatically retried with exponential backoff for better reliability.
- What image formats are supported?
The plugin supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP formats. Files with unsupported extensions are saved with a .jpg extension. JPEG images can be compressed with adjustable quality settings (1-100%).
- Will this break my existing content?
No! The plugin only replaces external image URLs with local ones after successfully downloading and importing them. If an import fails, the original URL remains unchanged.
