Biggest opportunity: Swap “image” and “media” for “webpage” and “space”. “image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “webpage” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “media” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “space” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.9%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 168.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,326 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Many thanks for this great plugin, it saved me so much time! Easy to use and bulk conversion worked perfect. My favorit image quality to file size ratio on photos was 75 % JPG quality.

Will definitely edit this review’s star rating, but my question is that before i run this plugin is that would you recommend doing a backup (other than pics?) i dont care about the original png’s since i did all the pics myself, but afraid that it sounds too good to be true (no offense intended) im hoping it is. but i used another plugin (jetpack boost) followed all the steps and just made my website slower.. Grade F in GT Metrics. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
