LH Cache Remote Images allows you to scan a post, page, or cpt to fetch remote images; then updates its content.
Unlike other similar plugins this plugin adds the images and updates post_content asynchronously. Thus ensuring the publishing experience is not slowed down.

CHANGELOG.md. Recent versions:
1.11 August 1, 2026
WordPress Plugin Check compliance pass: added License headers, corrected "Requires at least" to match the plugin's real minimum WordPress version (5.8.1), removed a stale Domain Path pointing at a nonexistent languages folder, escaped debug output, removed a dead unused method calling a nonexistent function, added a missing direct-file-access guard, added missing text-domain arguments, and replaced discouraged parse_url()/unlink() calls with their WordPress-API equivalents.
1.10 July 31, 2026
Security fixes for an SSRF vulnerability and unsafe SQL construction responsibly disclosed by Philipp Beick, plus an additional related SSRF bypass and host-matching bypass found during review; removed unused bundled taxonomy library; added plugin_version() identity method. (Versioned 1.10, not 1.1.0, because WordPress's version comparison was treating the legacy 1.04 as newer than 1.1.0.)
1.04 October 08, 2017
Updated lh-copy-from-url-class.php
1.03 September 10, 2017
Check posttype is public
