As your website expands, so does its media library with images, videos, PDFs, and more. This guide offers simple, effective solutions for when you're running out of space.
1. **Identify Storage Use**
Begin by assessing which types of files consume the most storage:
Are many high-resolution images used?
Are videos or audio files hosted directly on your site?
Are there any unused or duplicate files?
2. **Optimize Media Files**
Before uploading, compress large images to reduce file sizes without losing noticeable quality. Many image/video compressors can achieve this balance.
3. **Remove Unused or Duplicate Media**
Old files can easily be forgotten. Review your site files to:
Remove files no longer used in posts or pages.
Eliminate duplicate uploads.
4. **Host Large Video Files Externally**
For video files, consider external hosting options such as Vimeo or YouTube.
This approach not only saves space but can also enhance site performance.
