WebP Conversion

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 · 92% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 4K+ in roughly 72 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.

   Some users including myself, have Fatal errors with this plugin. We can’t delete media files without disabling the plugin first. The support log show no answer for more than a month and the last update was 3 months ago. I can be wrong but I presume this plugin is dead. Shame, I liked this plugin. And I suspect that one 5 star rating was not a real rating. This topic was modified 7 months ago by bokibe.

   I have tried dozens of image compressor plugins and most of them had fallen to the subscription model. That’s strange given that compression is not a resource-intensive task. This plugin brings back the true spirit of WordPress. It’s simple, intuitive, and free for everyone. It’s so good, I even made a video for this plugin.
