Disk Space

    Hello

    WordPress Pro provides 50GB of disk space, is there a plan to purchase additional disk space when the question exceeds the disk space?

    Because I found out that there is no longer a 200GB business plan.

    Hey @onejhuping, there’s only the 50GB storage option right now for Pro plans. For people with legacy plans, the storage limit will be as stated in the plan.

    But I believe the team at wordpress.com are working on new storage addon functionality. I’m linking @kokkieh’s reply regarding this on another post. You can view it at https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/storage-32/#post-3814282

    I hope it helps.

    Hi

    Thank you for your reply.

    About compressing images, keep asking

    wordpress.com has jetpack plugin

    Do I still need to install a plugin that compresses images, such as Compress JPEG & PNG images, to reduce the size of my images?

    Or will the jetpack plugin also compress the uploaded images?

    @ichefpe,

    The compression Jetpack does changes nothing to the filesize of the original image file you upload. It only compresses the image that gets served when someone views it on your site – this keeps the download size of your entire site as small as possible so that it loads faster in the visitor’s browser, and uses less bandwidth.

    Personally I prefer to optimize my image files before I upload them to the library. First I resize them to the dimensions I’m going to be using them at on my site, and once I’ve done that, I also run them through JPEGMini to further reduce the filesize.

    If you prefer you can use a plugin for this as well. Just make sure the plugin compresses/optimises the images as they’re being uploaded, i.e. that the compressed image is the one that ends up in the media library. If the compression only happens after the file has already been uploaded to the library, it won’t reduce your media storage use at all.

    That said, physically resizing images have a much bigger impact on the filesize than compression, so while it’s a bit more work, if your goal is to make your storage space last longer, that’s the better option.
