If you're running more than one WordPress site, "unlimited sites" is one of the most useful—and most misunderstood—features in image optimization tools. Here's exactly how it works with SmallPict.
Understanding the Shared Quota Model
Unlimited sites means a shared quota pool, not unlimited raw processing.
If your account uses 10% of its monthly processing quota optimizing images on Site A, Site B under the same account starts with 90% remaining, not a brand-new quota. This keeps pricing honest, predictable, and sustainable for everyone. It's why we publish transparent usage metrics in your dashboard instead of making false "unlimited" marketing claims.
How CDN Bandwidth Works Across Sites
The delivery mechanism is designed to guarantee zero downtime:
- Starter Plan: Delivers optimized AVIF or WebP assets directly from your WordPress server disk without cloud storage dependencies.
- Pro Plan: Bundles 50GB/month of managed Anycast edge CDN delivery.
- Business Plan: Bundles 200GB/month of managed edge CDN delivery.
On Pro and Business, turn on Cloud Offload to keep originals in encrypted cloud storage and serve images from the SmallPict CDN. Leave it off and everything stays on your WordPress server.
What Happens When You Exceed Bandwidth?
Unlike competing platforms that cut off image delivery or send surprise overage charges, SmallPict features graceful fallback protection:
If your site temporarily exceeds your plan's monthly CDN bandwidth limit during a viral traffic surge, your images never break or stop loading. Instead, delivery automatically falls back to your host server's local cached assets until your next billing cycle, keeping your layout intact and your website accessible.
Your Own Storage and CDN
Need more headroom? Business gives you a larger quota and more CDN bandwidth. Connecting your own storage and CDN is only available on the API Velocity and Momentum plans (see Cloud providers); WordPress plans, including Business, use the managed SmallPict CDN.
