Do I need a bunny.net account to use this plugin?

Why do I need this plugin?

The plugin is designed to enhance website performance and prevent crashes caused by embedded videos, as demonstrated in the linked video. By utilizing HLS technology for video streaming instead of standard MP4 files, the plugin significantly improves the overall page speed, security and video playback performance. For more info about HLS check this video.

Will my existing videos be synced?

The existing video must be re-encoded using the plugin. This process will offload the video to Bunny by simply clicking a button.

Does this plugin support files that are not videos?

This plugin is intended solely for video streaming. For offloading images, please utilize alternative, dedicated plugins that are compatible with bunny.net or similar services.

Is it possible to delete the local video file and rely solely on the offloaded copy?

You can safely delete the local video files while retaining the versions offloaded to Bunny. These offloaded videos will continue to function on your website.

How does this plugin differ from other offloading plugins?

The plugin is free and offers full integration with the WordPress Media Library, allowing users to leverage core WordPress functionalities for adding videos instead of relying on separate widgets. While Bunny offers an official plugin for video embedding, it lacks the same level of media system integration. However, Bunny’s plugin does excel with its highly effective image offloading feature.
