Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. annual revenue
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.

Despite not having been updated, this plugin works flawlessly for us. Makes it very easy to see where an image has been used and to replace a file.

Excellent plugin, still working with WP 6.8.1. If your https website contains media with http prefix, they will not be detected as used, It’s better to fix this problem before running this plugin.

This plugin is really invaluable! Something like it should be included in the WP core.

This identified a number of images that were actually still being used – in one case, it even identified our corporate logo. This plugin needs some serious work.

What a great idea, I thought, This is exactly what I need to help me do some housekeeping an get rid of old images that are not being used. Luckily I noticed pretty quickly that it tells you an image in unused when it’s clearly attached to a post. What a shame.
