ImageEngine – Optimize the Images on Your WordPress Site Like No Other Plugin

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   The plugin is fairly easy to set up once you got the ImageEngine account registered. The load times, especially on mobile, has improved significantly! Compared to similar image optimization plugins, this has a couple of unique features: Also support css,js,fonts and other static files Built in CDN AVIF support Bonus for working well with Elementor and WooCommerce.

   I’m a novice so I use Google Page Speed Score etc heavily… helps me benchmark my build and plugin quality so I can maximise the speed of my site and pages.. I use a lot of video so I use Bunny CDN… My Google scores had a lot of negative marks and I was stuck around 65 /100 with page load times around 1 second and 1 – 2 meg pages.. I plugged in ImageEngine and with the amazing help of Vysakh my scores went through the roof! 96 / 100, page speeds of 500ms! and page sizes of 370Kb!!! I mean what is not to like??? Would I recommend this 100% – 5 STARS! Thank you to Vysakh for setting it up and his Master Class on Google Chromes Inspect and Network tools 🙂
