More about rtAmazon S3 Plugin
Looking for a way to offload images on your WordPress site to an Amazon S3 bucket? You can do just that with rtAmazon S3, our premium WordPress Amazon S3 plugin.
By offloading images from your WordPress site to Amazon S3 (a service offered by Amazon Web Services), you will be able to serve media files to your site visitors directly from your cloud object storage. This helps you save bandwidth and cut down storage costs associated with your current hosting provider.
Additionally, you can configure S3 to serve images via Cloudflare or CloudFront content delivery networks (CDN). This can greatly improve the load time for website visitors who live on the other side of the world by reducing latency and caching the static content on your website.
