Overview
WordPress has changed the media page, removing the two fields to define the location and the sub-field of media.
There exists a constant wp-config.php, but it does not include sub-domains.
Once activated, the plugin will add two values in the database, you modify later.
The plugin is not retroactive for images already uploaded.
Follow the installation instructions to migrate your old images.

Useful plugin with proper configuration

Hello, thank you Author for providing this WP plugin.
Still useful even with HTTP2 as standard as subdomains serving, extends the browsers limitations for concurrent connections at “6 connections per host name”.
To add for WP users information as some are having problem with settings, particularly when subdomain directory is set outside the WP install directory – setting is not working during inaccurate paths, so to solve it, settings enabled in the “Expert mode” field should be made relative from the WP directory ie. “../../cdmysubdomaindir/uploadfiles”.
Thank you.

Its simple waste of time, as the plugin only allows to upload images in the same server and not on any remote one.
