Question about bulk upload

    Hello, thank you for the great plugin.

    We have a website with around 6000 images and just added the plugin, so it’s auto offloading new images (so far around 80 offloaded). questions about the bulk option:

    1 is the process designed for such amounts? is it done in batches / over time in order not to create a server load? How long do you expect the process to take, assuming the average size of our images is 100 kb.

    2 many images are on old articles. however, it will take ages to manually sort which images worth offloading and which not. If there was a way somehow to trigger offloading whenever a user is seeing an image – that could be great.

    Thank you

    Hi @yuvalgov,

    The bulk process can timeout, but you can restart it and it will continue where it left off. The process might take a while depending on your site bandwidth and connection speed.

    There’s also a WP CLI command you can use: wp cf-images offload

    No, unfortunately, there’s no detection of viewed images.

    Best regards,
    Anton

    Thanks Anton.
    1 What do you mean timeout? what exactly happens and might cause it to timeout?

    2 also, is there a way from the plugin to stop the bulk offload?

    3 in what order the bulk upload works (by date or how), and how long do you expect it to take to upload all 6000 images, average sized 100kb each?

    Thank you

    1. Bulk offload through wp-admin requires the browser window to remain open. So if your computer goes into sleep mode or there’s a network glitch – the process will timeout.
    2. Yep – just close the window or refresh the page
    3. It starts with the latest images. It’s really hard to estimate. I’d recommend starting the process and just timing 10 images and you’ll be able to calculate approximately how much 6k will take.

    Best regards,
    Anton
