Large Sites

  • I’ve used this plugin on a few smaller sites and it works great.

    Question for you:

    I’ve got a site that’s about 30gb of uploads – all images.

    It’s a feed site with about 100 new posts a day.
    Cron runs to take feed post first image, and copy that to uploads as the featured image for that post so that it shows nicely in the theme they’ve developed.

    Each month they’re adding another 5-10gb of storage because of these images.

    I’m wondering if this plugin will work for a setup like I’m mentioning, and how long it will take to get it up and running.

    Thanks.

    Craig

    Hello,
    about image delivery, I don’t think it will be a problem, as S3 is very adaptable and scalable.

    Currently the uploads to S3 are done by wp cron job, I am not sure if it will catch up with such demand. Currently the max limit is 100 files per hour, which is 2400 file per day, or 72000 files per month.

    To start you can just install the plugin and leave it do the transfers. It will eventually upload all you files to S3.

    But if you want fast results, you can manually transfer all files from the uploads directory on you web server, to the desired path on S3 and manually delete the files from you web server. If you choose to do it, first try it on a few files to see if everything is working ok.

    Also for testing manual upload, you can setup the plugin, active it with correct settings and then deactivate it. This will generate the .htaccess file that will handle the redirects to S3, but won’t run the cron job, so you will be sure that manual upload works ok.
