RICG Responsive Images

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 97% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 9 months ago; the previous band took 14 months to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I really like the idea of this plugin but my site suffered significant “bloat” because of the variety of image sizes that the plugin made of each upload. Now, I get error warnings when using Duplicator because of the huge image folder. I also disabled the plugin and will go through and try to eliminate the code issues and the many, many sizes of each image.

   I like the idea of this and I believe this plugin would be a benefit for those who wish to place a LOT of large dimension images on their website. For my purposes I will remove the plugin and will have to go through code to remove unnecessary and unwanted code. When I need it, it will be much easier to manually put the code in and utilise the varying sizes WordPress outputs when uploading images. Browser support for the srcset attribute is still limited – initially I thought it still a great idea to benefit those who use browsers that support srcset. But I regularly place small images/thumbnails that link to lightbox versions. The plugin was placing code onto the 150×150 thumbnails – which is pointless and adds code clutter. I deactivated the plugin, deciding only to turn it on for inserting large images. Recently I discovered, on opening up the read more divs on my website that all the images within were now displaying at 100% width. This totally broke the layout of the pages and obviously images of 200px wide now looked horrible when displaying many times bigger than actual resolution. I activated the plugin and the images displayed correctly again – but now I am back with unnecessary code being added to thumbnails. The reason I didn’t notice this earlier was all other images inserted, while plugin was activated, beyond the expanding divs were in max-width containers. I believe a recent WordPress or plugin update created this display issue. If there were a check box added within the Add Media section that would allow the code only to be placed when checked would make me be happy to have the plugin installed and activated.

   I did not like having all the images sizes added to the code in my post. When I went to the post I was getting code errors for images which are not in the post (because they were off sizes from the actual image). Now, after uninstalling the plugin I still have all that extra code in every post. I’m going to have a lot of clean up from this plugin. Of course, I’m not happy with that. I think your idea for this plugin is right on the mark. But, the practical side of making it work needs change. Adding extra code to the post is not something I want to do. I’m leaving this as a review so others will know what to expect and (though it may not seem like it) to encourage the developers. I’m not rating the plugin low because it does what it says it will do.

   Thanks for your plug in, it boostes my site. Gmetrix > before: 88%, after: 94% !!! YSlow Score > same 79% PageSpeed Insights before / after: 89/90% PageSpeed Insights mobile > before : 61%, after: 74% !!! Pingdom > before / after: 84/85% I use : function custom_theme_setup() { add_theme_support( ‘advanced-image-compression’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘custom_theme_setup’ ); I don’t see really the difference without and with these few lines. I win or lose 1% but i thinks it’s not depending about your lines but about test sites. Thanks, Best regards, Hélène

   Fantastic. Works straight out the box, I didn’t even have to go back and update any old code or old posts. However, it doesn’t play well with JetPack Photon, or JetPack Image Widgets.
