An MP4 in WordPress sends every viewer the exact same file, on fiber or one bar of signal. That's not streaming. HLS cuts video into short segments at several quality levels so playback adapts. How it works, and why shared hosting can't do the encoding ↓

Moving a media library to the cloud shouldn't mean a search and replace on your database. Infinite Uploads syncs your existing uploads, then swaps the URLs as each page loads. Want out? While your plan is active, Download & Disconnect brings your files back to your server. ↓

That "exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive" error isn't WordPress being difficult. Your host's PHP settings set the limit, and you can see yours under Tools > Site Health > Info. Four ways to raise it ↓

We ran six real WordPress photos through AVIF and WebP at matched quality (SSIM 0.985).
AVIF was the smallest file on all six. 37% smaller than WebP across the set.
And WebP didn't even beat JPEG every time ↓

Browser support is basically solved. caniuse has WebP at 97.08% and AVIF at 96.33%.
Small gap. Not zero. Serve AVIF with no fallback and older Safari users get a broken image.
And WordPress core won't convert your JPEGs to AVIF on its own.
Gray boxes in your Media Library almost never mean lost files.
WordPress usually knows about the images. The browser can't reach them, the grid request is failing, the files were never catalogued, or your posts still hold old URLs.
Figure out WHICH problem you have first ↓

Before you offload your WordPress media anywhere, ask one question: can I get my files back?
