Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Fantastic plugin. I was looking to implement spatie/image-optimizer manually on my WordPress theme but decided to do one check for a plugin before proceeding. After having a look through the plugin source code it seems to do exactly what I wanted (in a cleaner fashion too) without all the unnecessary frills and external API calls that so many other plugins seem to use. 10/10
