Media Files Tools

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.

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.

   Was looking for a way to see what files were adding to the overall size of my clients site. This tool solved that. THANK YOU! The one part that tripped me up was going to Media > File Tools and clicking the “Get Files Size” button. Otherwise it did not provide me the sizes upon activating the plugin. Only thing that tripped me up. Otherwise, super handy tool! Keep up the good work 🙂

   Great addon for the Media Library. Helps hugely if you need to clean out oversized files. Still seems to work without problems.

And if you use a Theme that use a lot the featured images this plugins is the perfect companion 🙂 Well done Jose, good job!
