A smarter way to handle images in WordPress (without uploads)

Hi Product Hunt,

We’re launching External Images tomorrow, a WordPress plugin that lets you use externally hosted images right inside WordPress.

Why we built it

Running multiple WordPress and WooCommerce sites, we kept hitting the same issues:

• Uploading the same image to multiple sites

• Hosting storage filling up fast

• Slower load times from bloated media libraries

• Broken image links when source files changed

We wanted a way to use externally hosted images across multiple sites while keeping everything working smoothly in WordPress. So, we built one.

What makes External Images different

• Use externally hosted images just like local ones

• No need to upload them into the WordPress media library

• Compatible with WooCommerce, posts, pages, page builders, and custom fields

• Keeps your site fast and lightweight

• Lets you manage image content across multiple sites from one source
