We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our newest product: Envira CDN!
After years of helping photographers and businesses create stunning galleries with Envira Gallery, we’ve heard the same frustration over and over again – website images that load too slowly, hurt search rankings, and drive visitors away.
That’s exactly why we built Envira CDN. This isn’t just another CDN service with complicated setup processes and confusing dashboards. It’s a complete WordPress CDN plugin designed specifically for people who want enterprise-level image delivery without any of the usual headaches and high cost.
Why Your WordPress Images Need a CDN
Let’s be honest – slow-loading media is killing websites every single day. According to Think with Google reports, 53% of mobile visitors will abandon sites that take more than 3 seconds to load. That means you could be losing more than half of your visitors simply because your images take too long to load.
When someone visits your site, your server has to push those heavy image files across the world to reach their location. By the time they reach your visitor’s screen, they’ve likely already clicked away. Google notices this too, and your search rankings suffer as a result.
The traditional solution is setting up a CDN (Content Delivery Network), which provides immediate improvements like:
- Faster Loading Times: Images that used to take seconds now load in milliseconds. This keeps visitors engaged and reduces bounce rates dramatically.
- Better Search Rankings: Google rewards fast-loading sites with higher search positions. Every speed improvement helps your SEO efforts.
- Lower Hosting Costs: Moving images off your hosting account frees up valuable storage space and reduces bandwidth usage. Many users are even able downgrade their hosting plan after implementing the CDN.
However, while the benefits of a CDN are real, most options require technical expertise, complicated configurations, and ongoing management. We wanted to create something different. Envira CDN works the way WordPress should: simple, automatic, and powerful.
Envira CDN: Fast WordPress Images Made Simple
We built Envira CDN to solve every frustration we’ve experienced with traditional CDN services. Instead of complex dashboards and technical configurations, you get a WordPress-native solution that feels like it belongs in your admin area.
One-Click Setup That Actually Works
When it comes to setup, Envira CDN is as easy as it gets. You literally install the plugin, enter your license key, and toggle a single switch. That’s it.
Once enabled, every image you upload to WordPress, whether through your Media Library, the block editor, or your gallery builder, automatically gets offloaded to our global network of 335+ CDN locations. For images you’ve already uploaded, just click the Bulk Offload Images button to transfer everything to the CDN in one go.
Your visitors get lightning-fast image delivery no matter where they’re located, and you don’t have to think about it.
Smart, Automatic Image Transformations
Beyond fast delivery, our Transformations feature takes image optimization even further. When enabled, Envira CDN detects each visitor’s specific device, resizes images to the exact dimensions needed, and automatically converts images to the most efficient format (like WebP when supported).
Desktop users get crisp, high-resolution images and mobile visitors receive perfectly resized versions that load instantly on their smaller screens. All of this optimization happens behind the scenes. Your visitors just see images that load in milliseconds instead of seconds.
Complete WordPress Integration
We designed Envira CDN to work seamlessly with WordPress. You’ll see your CDN Status right in your Media Library, with clear indicators showing how many images are offloaded.
Want to see which images haven’t been offloaded? Just click the filter button to Show Non-CDN Images. Need to remove or add certain images to the CDN? You can do that from the Bulk Actions menu.
You can also manage the CDN status for individual images directly from the WordPress media uploader.
If an individual image isn’t on the CDN, you’ll see a one-click Offload to CDN button below the metadata fields. If the image is already offloaded, you can quickly View CDN URL or Remove from CDN if needed.
Want to prevent all media in a specific page or post from being served via the CDN? Just go to Post settings in your sidebar and check the box under Envira CDN to Exclude this content from CDN processing.
Easy peasy, right? We built the Envira CDN plugin to feel like a natural part of WordPress at every turn.
