of downloads still active
At least 80K of 681.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “upload”, “height” and “jpeg” (#5, #6 and #6 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

It doesn’t support Avif and Webp format. An unsatisfactory plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ zzlatevv1.9y ago
I had high hopes for this plugin, but it fell short in crucial areas. It does not support resizing of WebP and AVIF images, which are becoming increasingly common. This is a significant limitation in today’s web environment. To make matters worse, there’s an issue with the wrong orientation when images are resized using this plugin. I can see that someone has reached out to the developers about this, but they refused to fix it. Such a lack of responsiveness and unwillingness to address critical issues is unacceptable. Until these problems are resolved, I cannot recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a reliable image resizing tool. I’d stay away from this plugin!

This is an absolutely amazing plugin that does exactly what it says. Thank you ShortPixel for developing such a wonderful plugin and for offering it free of charge.

Unfortunately, WordPress administrators do not deal with this at all, and all it takes is one careless editor and the administrator has a lot to do for many hours. With this plugin, servers are no longer filled with unnecessary giant images that are ultimately useless and just lie dead on the server and take up space. Lots of space.

There is no better image plugin than this one! Thank you very much to his team!

Works as advertised. Now posting using a mobile is a breeze. No longer need to worry about the hefty images that people may upload when posting with mobile, especially with mobile photos.

I have been using it on all my WordPress sites for a long time. In a word, it’s a life-saving add-on. A plugin that I believe should be available by default in WP. Thanks to this plugin, I don’t have to worry about what kind of image novice writers on my sites will upload. When entering content, you do not need to deal with the dimensions of the images. He does his job very well and quickly.

Excellent plugin – easy to use (automatically resizes loaded media files to specified parameters), you are in control and don’t have to worry/check original file sizes.
