WP Resized Image Quality

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 · 100% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Works as expected. Only beef I have is that the plugin description does not mention the most important fact: “compression %” as mentioned in the plugin setting is counterintuitive. Contrary to what one might think, compression % actually means IQ. In other words, “100% compression” means no compression, i.e. 100% image quality. Rather strange, but not a deal breaker. For whatever excellent reason, it didn’t work for me initially. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-or-what-am-i-missing

   Tested same file with different names for upload and turned compression to 0 none. Not different in size and the 3 smaller sizes were not generated. Anyone know how to currently turn off WP compression. I take care of file size in PSP thank you.

   Uploading two versions of the same image with only the file name changed. First version done before installing the plugin and the second version done after installing the plugin and setting compression to 60. Result: the “after” files (full and thumb) are the same size as the “before” files. If this plugin had worked, the “after” files should have been smaller than the “before” files.

   Thanks for developing this plugin. It is very essential for WordPress. One question: Is this working only on jpg files or can it be used for gif and pngs too?
