The plugin helps content teams easily identify heavy images and check whether they include alternative text (ALT).
We can sort the media library by file size, filter by size, and Alt Text.
- Green: Images 100K or less are assigned a good optimization status.
- Orange: Images between 100K and 500k are assigned a medium optimization status.
- Red: For images of 500k or more, we assign a status of poor optimization.
Thanks to this plugin, we can see if images need to be optimized and improve page load and SEO of images.

EVALUATE RESULTS
Recommended Tools
- Lighthouse (in Chrome DevTools) — Analyze image weight and format, as well as the use of alternative text (ALT).
- WebPageTest — Check how images affect real-world load times.
- Squoosh — Compare visual quality and file size savings when optimizing images.
- WAVE Accessibility Tool — Verify whether images are missing ALT attributes or if the alternative texts are descriptive.
Evaluation Guidelines
- Identify images without ALT text or with excessive file size before running external tests.
- After replacing large images or adding ALT text, repeat your evaluations to confirm improvements.
- Evaluate both new and existing content — not only the most recent uploads.
- Define an internal size limit (for example, 200 KB per image) and monitor it regularly.
- Keep in mind that accessibility also affects SEO and overall user experience.
