Biggest opportunity: “image”, “image compression” and “image optimization” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 70 of 8.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,099 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

How it's tracked →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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image compression your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image optimization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| resize image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “image”, “image compression” and “image optimization” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ bockets3.5y ago
Update 2024-09-03: As of WP 6.6.1, it’s now raising warnings. I don’t recommend using this plugin. I find the documentation good, but still setting this up was fraught with pitfalls. Get it wrong and you just see “Access Denied”. I think it could do better walking a person through the setup process. This also broke all our Alpine custom event handlers that used “@click”. We had to replace them with “x-on:click” handlers. This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by bockets. Reason: Update impact to alpine This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by bockets.
