If you have command line access to your server, I highly recommend using [WP-CLI](https://wp-cli.org/) instead of this plugin as it's faster (no HTTP requests overhead) and can be run inside of a `screen` for those with many thumbnails.

### Jetpack's Photon Module
### Jetpack's Site Accelerator Module

[Jetpack](https://jetpack.com/) is a plugin by Automattic, makers of WordPress.com. It gives your self-hosted WordPress site some of the functionality that is available to WordPress.com-hosted sites.

[The Photon module](https://jetpack.com/support/photon/) makes the images on your site be served from WordPress.com's global content delivery network (CDN) which should speed up the loading of images. Importantly though it can create thumbnails on the fly which means you'll never need to use this plugin.
