“What Does It Do?” The Google Drive As WordPress CDN (Content Delivery Network) Plugin automatically syncs your static files (like images) to your own Google Drive Account. From there the files are delivered to the users who visit your webpages. This reduces the load of your webserver and can decrease page load time as well.
“How Does It Work?” „Why Do I Need It?“ Version history The current version is: 1.3.1 (Aug, 29 2013) Click here for a full version history.
Please note that CodeCanyon sometimes is a little slow when it comes to reviewing updated items. To avoid this and to get updates quicker, please add your purchase code on the settings page of the item. You then get informed automatically when a new update is out and you also get the updated item delivered right within WordPress update process.
IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE Version 1.3 cannot upgrade itself. Please update manually if you want to go to the next version. In version 1.3.1 this is fixed.
Notes: Please note the following:
There is a limit on how many requests you can make to your own Google Drive. If you’re over quota, the plugin cannot upload anything anymore. Please read more about this on the Google Drive as WordPress CDN Plugin FAQ page (Question 8 ). You also need the latest WordPress version (3.5 and up) as well as PHP 5.3 working on your webserver. I’ve recognized that Google sometimes sends a 1ms wait signal when delivering files from Google Drive. This is why some online load test tools will show a drop in pagespeed first. I don’t really know why this happens but it shouldn’t be too noticeable from the user’s point of view because when using CDN the browser is able to load more files at once and the load of the webserver gets reduced, too. You should always use a caching plugin (like WP-Super Cache) because a CDN plugin does not cache anything. It just distributes files between several servers to reduce the load on the webserver.
