Insta-crashed my site
Insta crashed my site as soon as it was activated. Just renamed the folder and was able to regain admin access and uninstall it, but obviously doesn't work for me for some reason. Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cloudinary_url() (previously declared in /home1/sceniccoachtours/public_html/wp-content/plugins/auto-cloudinary/inc/helpers.php:11) in /home1/sceniccoachtours/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cloudinary-image-management-and-manipulation-in-the-cloud-cdn/lib/Helpers.php on line 414 There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

Cheaper than Imgix
Cloudinary give you free and the lowest latency because of Akamai.

(free) Image Optimization & CDN in 10 Minutes
If you are using the Screenshots as instructions, it takes just 10 Minutes to make it work. Works for me out of the box with: + GeneratePress + WP Rocket Cache - Lazy Loader - HTML, CSS & JavaScript Combine + Minification + Foo Gallery & Foobox - Only the "visible" Images/Thumbnails. + Yuzo Related Post Thumbnails
