Image Cleanup

Great Job I love it

Awesome plugin, thank you!

Worked perfectly on an up-to-date WordPress installation.

My site uses a plain old theme, not a page builder, and it does not have any fancy image related plugins (except this).

Indexing, analyzing results, moving, testing, then deleting is a safe way to proceed: Once the files (suggested by the plugin and selected by the user) are “moved” to another folder, one has to verify the integrity of the site by actually browsing it. If everything seems fine, the files can be deleted immediately or at some later point in time. If something gets broken, some or all files can be moved back = full/partial undo. I love how this plugin puts the user in charge.

I also appreciate that this thing detects/reports invalid metadata, too.

Didn’t work

Wow. I’ve been piddling around with my site for months, and really there’s not a great deal to it, just 6 pages. But over those months, I’ve tried an inordinate number of layouts, templates (Elementor) and swapped in and out different images, etc.

I threw this puppy in on a recommendation and found I had 1650+ unused images in the database. Are you NUTS? So I went in and deleted them all. I had to step through 16 pages of lists to delete them all (although each page has a select ALL button for each page), so the process took a few minutes.

I still wasn’t convinced I could possibly have accumulated THAT many images, so to see if there was any difference in the size of my site, I exported the database using All In One Migration (another superb plugin), and LO AND BEHOLD, my database has shrunk from 6000+ files to 4000+ files! But, moreover, the database had shrunk from 378 MB to 275 MB.

The difference in page loading? Not much that I could detect; however, migrating the database was another story: much faster.

Recommend this plugin! Did a great job. Try it. You might find that your ‘innocuously’ small website that you’ve been fussing with over the months has got some serious backend baggage!
