## Beschrijving

[Plugin author](http://blog.milandinic.com/)

Cache Images is a plugin that gives users option to sideload images that are hosted
on other domains to their own site. Sideloaded images are added to WordPress media
library so you can use all tools related to images that you can use with images 
uploaded through WordPress. Image will be added as an attachment of first post where
it is found, and every post where original URL is occurring will be updated with
new URL. User can select from which domains to sideload images, including Blogger’s
domains.

It uses AJAX so it means you can sideload large number of images even on slow servers.(
AJAX functions are made by fork of code from plugin [AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ajax-thumbnail-rebuild/))

This plugin is fully internationalized. You can find .pot file in _languages_ folder
where you should place your translation. Current translations are Serbian, Spanish,
and Persian. Please send your translation by [contacting author](http://blog.milandinic.com/contact/)
so that it can be included it in next releases.

This plugin doesn’t update the ALT fields of the images from the alt tags, so, basically,
it’s exactly the same as just bulk downloading the images from a remote site and
bulk uploading them to your library. It does stick the local copies in the same 
places you had hotlinked them in your post, which is great (and is the reason I’m
giving 2 stars instead of 1), unless, like me, it leaves you with 500 media files
that you now need to update the alt fields individually by hand, making the whole
exercise a waste of time.

### 󠀁[Fine for tiny sites with a handful of images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fine-for-tiny-sites-with-a-handful-of-images/)󠁿

When I tried to use this on my blog (which has been running since 2001, and has 
many thousands of entries), it failed miserably. For many years, I kept images on
a different server I run, and linked to them from my blog. I finally decided to 
migrate all the images to my blog. Things seemed to go well at first, until the 
plugin hit a few hundred images, at which point my VPS crashed hard. The plugin 
seems only meant for tiny blogs with maybe a dozen images or so. There’s no rate
limiting, no provision for heavy load, no way it can handle more than a small handful
of images. Also, it wants to resize images, for some reason. If oyur goal is to 
end up with a blog exactly the same as it was before, but with the images local 
instead of remote, it should just…bring in the remote images, not resize them.

The one that really works without messing my HTML, and allowing automatic caching
for future posts at the same time. The only thing that I’d like is the ability to
change the cached file name (like caching with the post name or time included on
name. And change base URL. Thanks!

Despite some comments to the contrary, this plug-in works with WordPress 4.9.2. 
It is well-designed with a very helpful user interface. If you want to get rid of
hot-linked images on your WordPress, this is a painless way to find them and automatically
put the images on your own site and replace the link.
