Smooth CDN Connector
Smooth CDN Connector lets you sync, optimize, offload, and deliver WordPress Media Library assets through Smooth Bundle CDN without changing how editors use WordPress.
Keep working with the standard Media Library while selected images, downloads, generated image sizes, and supported site assets are synced to Smooth Bundle and served through CDN URLs.
Use it to reduce local media storage, improve asset delivery, manage protected files, restore offloaded assets when needed, and keep better control over media used across your WordPress site.
The plugin is focused on real WordPress files and assets: uploads, generated image sizes, selected Media Library files, and supported JS/CSS assets from active themes and plugins.
For REST API acceleration, use Smooth API Accelerator instead.
Useful for
- WordPress sites with large or growing Media Libraries
- Agencies managing media-heavy client websites
- Sites that want to offload selected media from local hosting
- Projects that need CDN delivery without changing the existing WordPress workflow
- Sites that need protected delivery for selected files
Features
- CDN delivery for selected WordPress media and site assets

- Media Library based asset management directly in wp-admin
- Controlled rollout, so assets can stay disabled, sync only, use rewritten URLs, or be offloaded
External services
This plugin connects to Smooth Bundle to authenticate the site, upload and delete synced media assets, manage protected asset access, fetch account and usage information, and optionally restore offloaded files from Smooth Bundle URLs.
When you connect the plugin, it sends your site domain to Smooth Bundle so the service can authenticate and prepare the connection.
When you sync media, it sends selected files and related asset metadata such as filenames, paths, hashes, protection settings, and project identifiers to Smooth Bundle so the assets can be uploaded, updated, delivered, and managed.
When you revoke, grant, or inspect protected asset access, it sends the relevant project identifiers, access identifiers, recipient email address, selected asset paths, and optional expiration date to Smooth Bundle to manage protected delivery.
When local offload restore is used, the plugin downloads the previously synced asset file from its Smooth Bundle delivery URL back to your WordPress uploads directory.
