of downloads still active
At least 9K of 146.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “memory usage”, “visualization” and “keyboard navigation” (#4, #8 and #17 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Installation was quick, and within a minute I could clearly see which folders were taking up the most space. The sunburst chart is intuitive and easy to understand, and it helped me solve a disk space issue without digging through FTP or SSH. Exactly what I needed.

I moved my websites over to Direct Admin (DA) panels. DA doesn’t include the option to see file diskspace breakdown like cPanel offers. No problem, because this plugin is far better! And I found some other little gremlins in the mix. I can confirm it works with WP 6.5.2 (most recent at the time of this review). Will be recommending this to my clients.

This plugin helped me find some file oaks that made my website slow and the server memory extremely full (database cache log files). Thank you!

I hardly write reviews anymore. Why? Because everything is pure poop and clickbait for premium “features” but every once in a while I come to download one of my must haves for a client site and I have to write something because of how dependable the plugin is and how it is literally a necessity for a site and that is why DUS is getting a 5 star. No one, has tried to do what they have done and it is such a addon to a devs toolbox. Everyone else is competing for social feed plugin users or the coolest new Elementor widgets and yet if you know anything about WP you’re here like me downloading DUS for a build. 5 stars all day, everyday!

Very useful plugin. Thank you.

Our hosts have a max capacity on our account and old files can make some sites get way too big – this plugin is invaluable for tracing the problems.
