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.

At the current install trend, crossing 30+ in roughly 127 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.

   I tested it on a high resolution JPEG and it compressed ~2.5 MB down to 45 KB with minimal visible quality loss at a quality setting of 65. The interface is simple and automatic conversion on upload and page load works smoothly. One point to note is that it also reduced the image resolution so adding options to preserve dimensions and support AVIF format would make it even more versatile. Overall it is a genuinely helpful tool for image optimization and I appreciate the thought and effort put into making the process straightforward.
