About this plugin
Easydoor Media moves your media library out of your hosting. When you upload a file in WordPress, it goes from your browser straight to Easydoor, an external media service, instead of to your server. Easydoor stores the original, creates the image sizes WordPress needs and serves everything from its own address.
Your hosting’s disk, bandwidth and upload time limits are no longer involved.
This plugin needs an Easydoor account. Easydoor is a paid service with a free plan. Nothing is sent anywhere until you paste your Easydoor license in the plugin.
See the “External services” section below for exactly what is sent, and when.
What happens to each upload:
- The original file is stored as it came.
- Every image gets five WebP versions on upload, in the WordPress sizes: the 150×150 thumbnail (cropped), 300, 768, 1024 and 2560 pixels. Nothing is enlarged: a size bigger than the original is not created.
- An AVIF version of each size follows a few minutes later, without slowing the upload down.
- Large files are sent in pieces, so the size limit is Easydoor’s, not your hosting’s.
What stays the same:
- Every file is still a normal WordPress attachment, with its ID, title and sizes. Themes, page builders and blocks keep working with it.
- The Media Library, the media modal and the block editor upload as before. A line next to the title of the Media Library tells you that uploads go to Easydoor.
- You can still crop, rotate, flip and scale images with the WordPress image editor.
- Deleting an attachment in WordPress deletes it on Easydoor too.
Choosing the format your pages offer: under the Easydoor menu you pick a site default, Automatic (AVIF for browsers that open it, WebP for the others) or WebP only. In the block editor, the ⋮ menu of an Image block lets you choose for that image only.
Plans, as of this version:
- Free: 50 MB of space, one site, WebP and AVIF. No video.
- Lite: US$ 7 per month, 1 GB, unlimited sites, video included.
- Medium: US$ 15 per month, 5 GB, unlimited sites, video included.
The space counts everything Easydoor keeps for you, including the optimized versions. When it is full, only new uploads stop; what is already published stays online.
The plugin is available in English and Brazilian Portuguese.
External services
ai), a service that keeps and delivers media files, run by the plugin’s author. The service is what the plugin is for: without it, uploads have nowhere to go.
When. Nothing is sent before you paste an Easydoor license in the plugin’s screen. After that, the plugin talks to Easydoor only when you or your site use it, as described below.
Where.
- https://api.easydoor.ai, the Easydoor API, for everything below except image delivery.
- https://*.easydoor.dev, the Easydoor delivery addresses, where your published files are served from.
What is sent, and when.
- Your license, with every request your WordPress server makes to the API. It identifies your account. It never goes into your pages.
- When you save the license: the license you pasted (to check it) and your site’s address (its home URL), which registers the site in your account.
- When someone in your dashboard uploads a file: your server asks the API for an upload permission that lasts five minutes, and the browser of that person sends the file itself (its content, name and size) to the API with that permission.
- After an upload: your server reads the file’s details back from the API, and asks again for the AVIF versions a few minutes later.
- When you delete an attachment, or close a page in the middle of a large upload: a request to delete that file, or that unfinished upload, on Easydoor.
- When you edit an image: your server downloads the image from Easydoor, edits it and sends the result back.
- When you use Bring my files back: your server downloads your files from Easydoor.
- Once a day, and when you open the Easydoor screen: a request for your account’s status, plan and used space.
Your visitors. dev. Your visitors’ browsers load them from there, so Easydoor’s delivery network receives those requests, like any website that serves images.
Help e-mail. The Help link opens an e-mail to Easydoor support in your own e-mail program, with the versions of the plugin, WordPress and PHP, your site’s address and, when the plugin can read it from Easydoor, your plan. Your license is not included.
It is only sent if you send it.
