Optimize Images Resizing

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   This plugin is awesome even in 2021! I wish I knew about it sooner and that the developer would continue to update it. Works fine though for 3 sites I installed it on.

   Why it generate all sizes if I have requested only 100 on 100 pixel. For example I have 20 different sizes. For post example with id 21 I use featured image. On the front page I have custom template which use featured img for post 22 with size 100 on 100. Why it generate all other 19 sizes? I dont use for this img all other, just 100 on 100.

   This is a really well thought out plugin. It cleans up all the clutter that WordPress leaves behind when you change themes or adjust layouts. In our case, our installation was creating 20 different thumbnail sizes. This plugin just saved us 50% of our disk usage. Thanks for a great tool!
