Is it better to upload the file clip to media library or is it better to use a third party link that stores the sound clip? If the site is only using 2 sound clips, is performance severely degraded by having the sound in the media library ?
Also if we chose to go by storing the media clip on a third party site? Are there any free options where the clip can be stored ? It is a a custom made sound of music ?
Thanks
Third Party. if you are on a budget hosting account, it will consume too much resources..
Also dependS on how long it is; if you’re talking about a single sound or 1 or 2 minutes sound clip and you’re not going to get tens of thousands of users listening to it at once, then you should be fine.
Obviously be aware that if you have uploaded an MP3 file people can very easily right click to download so it may be better putting it up via a hidden YouTube or using SoundCloud something and then just embed that.
I believe WordPress has as the ability to display SoundCloud built-in, I think I’ve used it before, AFAIK it works well.
