Media Library File Size

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 · 78% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 7K+ in roughly 122 days.

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 ‘must have’ plugin and so far working well on V7.0. Note: Before clicking on File Size you must first index the Library!

   We use this plugin with a large WordPress site, where multiple users add images. We keep this plugin installed so everyone can easily see if images are too large.Love the ability to sort the media library by file size. This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by tribalmaggot.

   Nice addition to the feature set of the WP Media library. Helpful to identify large media files that are taking up server space. Great work!

   Generally great plugin, just the extension in the Media Library (Medienübersicht) that shows you the size of each immage. But it only shows the size of the latest 60 immages. All that comes after (Bevore may 2022) has no sizes. Also the sorting by immage size does not work. I hope this plugin will improve over time!

   I needed something that helped me manage my uploaded files. I found the default media manager in wordpress a little lacking and was happy to try a few out. This is the one that I stuck with as it seems to do exactly what I need.
