Relative Image URLs
When inserting an image into a post, WordPress uses absolute URLs to the files. This plugin overrides that functionality and forces it to use relative URLs. For example: WordPress Default: http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/example.jpg Plugin Override: /wp-content/uploads/2013/04/exam

Frequently asked questions.
Do I have to set any options?
Nope. It’s ready to go right out of the box.
Why would I want relative image URLs?
A few reasons:

- If you have an install as a development/testing version of your site that you migrate frequently.
- Reduces HTTP requests, which will speed up page load time.
