Thumbnail Manager

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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 296 days.

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.

   I used both the ‘Prune’ and ‘Regenerate’ features as part of a process I had to run to reduce the size of my uploads folder. By deleting thumbnails I was able to download just the original image files, batch resize/optimise them, put them back on the server and regenerate the thumbnails. Worked exactly as expected. Most of the free (and premium?) image optimising plugins actually fill up your server with more files so this was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
