Title: [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Google storage compatibility Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Google storage compatibility * Resolved [jcnetsys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcnetsys/) * (@jcnetsys) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/) * I think it would be great if the plugin worked with Google storage. Google storage, whilst not a dedicated CDN solution, has been found to be better at it than many other providers. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Thread Starter [jcnetsys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcnetsys/) * (@jcnetsys) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030045) * I have made my own plugin that uses google storage as a CDN if you would like to see the source code so that you can incorporate it in this plugin let me know. * [ijaas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ijaas/) * (@ijaas) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030058) * Hi Mate, * Do you think it will be possible to share that plugin. * I am looking to build a couple of sites and am interested in testing out googles CDN. * Thanks * Thread Starter [jcnetsys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcnetsys/) * (@jcnetsys) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030059) * Hi ijaas, * Very much WIP at the moment but I’ve uploaded my plugin (link below). You’ll need to have a google storage account (signup is free) and have created a bucket. * Open index.php and set the bucket and site name on lines 16 and 17 and then fill in your access keys on line 47 which you can find out from here: [https://sandbox.google.com/storage/m/manage](https://sandbox.google.com/storage/m/manage) * The site name allows you to have multiple sites delivered from the same bucket. * [http://sandbox.google.com/storage/development_trunk/google-storage-cdn.zip](http://sandbox.google.com/storage/development_trunk/google-storage-cdn.zip) * If you require some assistance or have any questions / feedback. Then please email me webmaster [at] spiders-design.co.uk. * Regards, Daniel Chatfield * Thread Starter [jcnetsys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcnetsys/) * (@jcnetsys) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030060) * Also note that you may have to wait for a few minutes after activating the plugin for all theme files and uploads to be transferred to google storage. The upload happens silently all the time that a user is logged in to the admin panel or alternatively you can go to the google storage page to see what is being uploaded. * [ijaas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ijaas/) * (@ijaas) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030061) * Daniel, the download link you provided cannot be accessed by anyone outside your account. * Thread Starter [jcnetsys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcnetsys/) * (@jcnetsys) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030062) * Woops – [http://sandbox.google.com/storage/cdn-delivery/google-storage-cdn.zip](http://sandbox.google.com/storage/cdn-delivery/google-storage-cdn.zip) * [xzonisy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xzonisy/) * (@xzonisy) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030098) * hi * i type my access key in line 47, and should i keyin the secret ? * – Tws_Service_Google_Storage::setKeys(‘keys’,’secret’);//SET GOOGLE KEYS HERE– * is it right ? * thank you * Thread Starter [jcnetsys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcnetsys/) * (@jcnetsys) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-google-storage-compatibility/#post-2030099) * Hi, * That is correct yes.
