    Hello,
    I need to free up my FTP space. So I thought of using some free image hosting (like Flicker) and linking images from there. I would also use the Fly Dynamic Image Resizer and the Optimole plugin (uses AWS CloudFront CDN) to optimize the page load speed.
    It’s good idea?
    Thank you for answer.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    you could not optimise the images when they are hosted on other image hosting service like Flickr. Most 3rd party image hosting services already have CDN.

    The plugins you mention are for local host images. They do not support 3rd party hosted images.

    Alternatively, you use WP Offload Media to host images on cloud storage (like AWS S3) and uses AWS Cloudfront CDN.

    By the way, I do not recommend to use free image hosting service to host your website images. 3rd party service provider could change at any time and breaks your website immediately.
