Imsanity

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 · 52% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This plugin does exactly what it says. It also works with WebP, so combined with Cimo you have a perfect scenario for a health media library.

   I’ve used this on a few sites where the client keeps uploading large image files. Imsanity does a good job of reducing the dimensions, improving the compression and deleting the original file. It also works well from WP CLI, to bulk-process images on first use. I prefer Imsanity to image-smushing plugins these days. Recommended.

   Thank you for for creating this plugin, it helps so much with clients who are still uploading images from their mobile phones to their website making the page load in forever, then coming back to the web designer after uploading 30 plus images and asking why the home page is so slow.I’d love it if we can also have a “percentage option” like reduce size by 25%, similar to what we do manually with graphic applications, and sometimes we also don’t know which size in pixels will look good after reduction, in these cases it’s easier to use a percentage.Thanks again.

   This plugin works great for sites where users either don’t know how to resize & compress their images before uploading, or they’re just too lazy to do so. I love that you’re able to resize the original image, allowing you to save valuable server space. 👍
