Image Regenerate & Select Crop

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 · 48% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   to view article preview images nicely. i use YARPP to view the related images.Problem the blog post images are width and the bigger preview images 150px+ are not cropped anymore. So i created 400 x 200 px new preview related posts with this plugin. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by Saleswonder Support Team.

   Great plugin, it works well with other image optimisation plugins. It has a ton of options and controls, which some people may find confusing, but I think it’s awesome to see the level of care and forethought the author has put into this plugin. We use it on all our sites.

   I’ve been using other thumbnail regenerator plugins but they are often quite restrictive. I was pleasantly suprised to see so many tools for removing and preventing images sizes all in once place.

   I have what I believe is rock solid hosting normally at cloudways, yet running the regeneration routine on a new image dimension I setup killed the server after about a thousand images were generated. From what I see (please correct me if wrong) the plugin doesn’t have any way to control the speed at which images are created. Please add this.
