This not only saves time but also reduces the workload associated with managing large volumes of image files. Secondly, utilizing external URLs helps optimize your site’s storage capacity. By storing images externally, you can conserve valuable storage space on your server, allowing for smoother site operation and improved performance. Overall, this approach offers a more efficient and convenient solution for handling Shopify images during the migration process.
