Great support, great plugin…

I had some questions about the plugin and immediately the team jumped on a ZOOM call for a demo. The plugin does exactly as we need – it brings in images off of our media platform and displays them in WordPress Media from an external endpoint. Perfect… Thanks team!

Works as expected

The team emailed us while we were busy on a client project. They’d worked with a company here in the Netherlands we know. We plugged their plugin into our project, and it was super smooth! Now we use it for all our projects cause it keeps images looking great without slowing stuff down.

Love it!!!

As a Next.js developer new to WordPress, I used it for a client project to make admin tasks easier. WordPress didn’t allow externally hosted images. This plugin was the perfect fix, letting me link CDN images directly in WordPress, just like in my Next.js projects, without uploading to the media library.

Better than manually uploading images

I run a content-heavy site and needed a way to use external images without slowing things down. This does the job well. My only feedback is that I’d like more customization options, but it’s a solid start.

Works as expected

I tested this plugin on a few sites, and so far, everything is running smoothly. Being able to use one license across multiple installations (depending on the plan) was the main reason I gave it a shot.

These FAQs cover the most common questions from real users—because we’re not just the developers, we’re users too. In fact, almost every image on this site is powered by the External Images WordPress Plugin.

Why use external images in WordPress at all?

Will my external product images show in WooCommerce galleries and variations?

Absolutely. You can assign external images to featured, gallery, and even variation image fields.

Does it support bulk imports?

Yes. You can bulk import external image URLs via XML, or JSON, perfect for syncing with suppliers or automation tools.

Can I use one license across multiple WordPress installs?

Yes, with our Professional plan or higher, you can activate the plugin across multiple sites.

Can this completely replace uploading images to WordPress?

Yes. If your image source is stable, you never need to upload again.

What happens if an image URL breaks?

If a hosted image is removed or unreachable, it won’t display. We recommend using reliable sources or CDNs.

Can I use WP All Import with this plugin?

Yes. External Images for WooCommerce is fully compatible with WP All Import, making product updates and syncs smooth.

Will my site be faster using external images?

Yes. The plugin reduces server requests and storage load. Add lazy loading, and your WooCommerce product pages load blazing fast.

Do you use this plugin on your own website?

Yes. Nearly all images you see here are hosted externally. We built this plugin to power our own performance, and now you can too.
