WP-Stateless – Google Cloud Storage

विवरण

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.
  • Multiple modes: Backup, CDN, Ephemeral, Stateless.
  • All files served in HTTPS mode.
  • Serverless platform compatible, including Google App Engine.
  • Multisite compatible.

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

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

Not sure why this plugin is allowed on the official WP Plugin directory. The only thing that its 'synchronisation' does is add a whole lot of records to the postmeta table, but not a single object was ever added to the specified bucket. No errors, and no activity whatsoever on the bucket, just an email from the plugin to notify of its completion. Traffic usage went up significantly in correlation to the synchronisation period, so it also feels dodgy, because where was all that traffic going? Unfortunately, I tried it out on a managed hosting account, which means I'm unable to investigate the nature of that traffic much further. I don't have time to investigate the plugin code itself either right now, but felt I should at least take a couple minutes to warn others. I don't normally complain about free things, but no paid option is available and this is a potentially harmful plugin.

... and nice options. Google Cloud can be a bit of pain to navigate, but the plugin works great!
