Resize images before upload

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 · 99% 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.

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.

   Upon searching the WordPress repository, it’s clear that every plugin that resizes images for you is a paid service, with one exception, THIS plugin! By resizing the imaegs on our website, we’ve been able to drastically reduce traffic and server load. The benefits become even more apparent as we continue to grow. Thanks for this brilliant plugin!

   First of all, thank you dear devs. Undoubtedly a great work.I must admit that using and maintaining a shared hosting for a high traffic website is tricky. And if compressing image takes 100% CPU and I/O usage, then its a hectic job. Used almost all other plugs but all of them exhausted my server. But as this one uses resource from client side so image compression has become faster and more stable from a server resource point of view.

   I like this plugin sooooooo much. This is the way uploading images should work. If I could give it a sixth star, I totally would.
