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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Positive Praise

Reviewers keep thanking the plugin for killing srcset and fixing blurry or oversized images, with only a couple of older complaints that it didn't remove srcset for them.

    Thank you for this, sincerely. Most users really do not need this extra clutter and confusion in the HTML. I trust the browser to resize images for me, and I don’t need WordPress doing that just to save 10 KB over the wire.

    It took me absolutely ages to figure out why my gutenberg “cover” block image appeared blurry at less than full screen width. Eventually, I figured it was due to the srcset tag being generated automatically for each image. This plugin resolved the issue. Thank you!
