    Hello.
    my wp-content/uploads volume increased and affected loading speed
    my Waterfall in the pictures reached 8 seconds.
    I have to say that all the photos I upload are stored directly in this folder without subfolder
    How can I folder these photos without losing SEO?
    There are over 8,000 photos in this folder right now
    Even opening this folder in the cpanel takes a lot of time.
    Redirecting the link to this number of photos is not really possible.
    Help me please. i have no Idea!
    best regards.

    Download the entire /uploads folder (/wp-content/uploads) to your local machine.
    Delete all the images you do not want.
    Zip up the folder on your local machine.
    Upload to your server.
    Delete the entire /uploads folder from the server.
    Extract the zip file you just uploaded.

    Clear your cache.
    Regenerate your thumbnails.

    Make sure you have a backup that you have tested into a restore before starting this process.

    If you can’t pare that down a bunch then maybe it’s time for a CDN. The good CDNs are optimized for serving up static (images and such) content in a big hurry.

    I use KeyCDN along with the W3Total Cache plugin on my own sites if you don’t have a preference already.
