WP-Stateless – Google Cloud Storage

Descripción

Upload and serve your WordPress media from Google Cloud Storage (GCS) with the WP-Stateless plugin. In as little as two minutes, you will be benefitting from serving your media from Google Cloud’s distributed servers.

New to Google Cloud? Google is offering you a $300 credit to get you started.

Benefits

  • Store and deliver media files on Google Cloud Storage instead of your server.
  • Google Cloud Storage is geo-redundant, meaning your media is delivered by the closest server – reducing latency and improving page speed.
  • Scale your WordPress website across multiple servers without the need of synchronizing media files.
  • Native integration between Google Cloud Storage and WordPress.
  • $300 free trial from Google Cloud. Nice!

Modes

  • Backup – Upload media files to Google Storage and serve local file urls.
  • CDN – Copy media files to Google Storage and serve them directly from there.
  • Ephemeral – Store and serve media files with Google Cloud Storage only. Media files are not stored locally, but local storage is used temporarily for processing and is required for certain compatibilities.
  • Stateless – Store and serve media files with Google Cloud Storage only. Media files are not stored locally.

Features

  • Setup assistant makes getting started fast and easy.
  • No need to manually create service accounts or buckets – handled automatically.
  • Settings panel provides you with further GCS configuration and file url customization.
  • Mask the default GCS URL with your own custom domain.
  • Automatically replace hardcoded media URLs with GCS equivalents in post editor and meta.
  • Batch image thumbnail regeneration.
  • Synchronization tools for uploading existing files and images.
  • All settings supported with wp-config constants and network setting overrides.

Reseñas

The plugin is a promising plugin with nice features, but works very bad and lacks of some features that for me are important. For example, instead of to allow to use the default service account in the instance, you have to install the service account JSON which is less secure.Another thing that lacks is the possibility to continue the syncs or even ignore the errors. If the process fails (which happens all the time), you have to restart the process from the begining. The sync is badly done and it stops without reason. Three days I have lost trying to sync a site and all the time the process stops without even saying why, it just says that has synced one image and nothing else. The plugin just stops saying that is syncing images and the progress bar doesn’t continues, but the plugin still thinking that is "in progress". If your site is new then will works fine for you, but If your site already have uploads in local, you will loose your mind trying to upload the files using the sync feature.

Great plugin – used for our site to reliably offload our images without issues. Timely help and support from their support team as well. Would recommend!

I know there are many other options and ways to deliver images but I have been using the WP-Stateless for the last couple of years and it has been great, no issues, once you get around how to do the setup you will be fine. Great plugin!Thank you,Krasen

Uso este plugin em diversos sites com resultados excelentes. Nunca tive qualquer problema em nenhum momento. Aplico sempre no tema DIVI usando Litespeed Cache e tdo funciona maravilhosamente bem. Agradeço aos desenvolvedores pelo excelente trabalho.

Plugin broke the permalink structure and set the website in a state of emergency. 404 errors on all pages expect the index. Done the manual integration, although images are serving from the cloud storage as described the layout of the pages broke whenever stateless is activated. Uninstalled and left with a mess that need a fixing. Don’t try on production websites! I was lucky that I have tried it in development environment
