r991409 r991421 11 11 12 12 == Description == 13 This all-inclusive plugin uses the AWS SDK for PHP to facilitate uploads directly from your Wordpress instance to S3. Amazon \'s inexpensive, unlimited cloud storage system is an excellent asset backend for all websites and this plugin allows you to seamlessly interact with your S3 bucket right from within your dashboard. Best of all, this plugin requires nothing special from you -- it has been tested for performance on shared hosting, VPS and dedicated servers and worked on each, out of the box, both on Apache and nginX. tcS3 has been tested on wordpress 3.7 - 4.0 and worked well on all versions.13 This all-inclusive plugin uses the AWS SDK for PHP to facilitate uploads directly from your Wordpress instance to S3.

It sets up a WP Rewrite rule and then modifies your images to use this new URL scheme. Accessing the images through the new URL allows the plugin to check the file \'s headers on S3 to determing if the file can be loaded form your bucket. If it can, your users browser is redirected to the image on S3. If it can\'t, the plugin then checks the local URLs you provide in the plugin setup and if it finds the image there redirects the user\'s browser there. If that also fails the image 404s.31 The check mentioned above will go a long way to help improve the up-time of your images.

The cache headers being assigned by this plugin will certainly help, but if you sign up for a free Cloudflare account and set up your S3 bucket as a subdomain that Cloudflare is caching, responses to initial requests will come from S3, but many subsequent requests will hit Cloudflare and cost you nothing (and images will load faster because Cloudflare is a CDN).56 While S3 is relatively inexpensive (very inexpensive the more you use it), it's not free and it's not just how much you upload to it, but how much traffic you're getting.
