WPS Cleaner

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 · 99% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Plugin showing unused images. I deleted all the unused images but I saw my site hasn’t any images! Rubbish!

   Left my site completely stripped of images. All product images, blog images and custom post type images are gone. Good thing I tested it on staging first. I deleted the plugin faster than lighting

   Installed an activated it, but cannot get past the “`This tool offers many cleaning options for your WordPress site, it is safe, however you must be aware that any cleaning operation is definitive! So, to avoid any worries, check that you have a backup of your site before using this tool.” notice, no matter how many times I click the “OK it’s noted !” button. As result, it’s absolutely useless.

   This plugin works great. It is fast and you can download the media files before deletion, just in case you need them later.

   I installed this plugin to help me find unused medias. But all my medias are found as “unused” so it doesn’t work as it should.

   Searches for media then lets you download unused ones but not delete them from. library, pointless. This topic was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by jfkweb.
