MRI SiteOptimizer The WordPress Plugin That Keeps Your Site Fast and Clean

Is your WordPress site dragging under the weight of bloated images, leftover junk files, and a database full of clutter it doesn’t need? MRI SiteOptimizer is a comprehensive optimization plugin that finds and clears out exactly what’s slowing your site down — automatically, or on your schedule.

Built by Redoy, a WordPress developer with 6+ years of experience and 500+ completed projects, this plugin is built for site owners who want real performance gains without digging through phpMyAdmin or guessing which images are safe to delete.

Who This Plugin Is For

• Site owners whose media library has grown out of control with unused or oversized images
• Anyone running a WordPress site that’s gotten slow, cluttered, or bloated over time
• Developers and agencies who want a one-click way to keep client sites optimized
• Businesses that want automatic, hands-off maintenance instead of manual cleanup

What You’ll Get

🖼️ Unlinked Image Cleaner

Automatically detects and safely removes images that aren’t used in any post, page, widget, or theme file — no manual auditing required.

📉 Image Compression

Compresses images on upload with configurable quality levels, choosing between lossy compression for smaller files or lossless for better quality.

⚡ Lazy Loading

Adds native lazy loading to all images in your content, so pages load faster without any extra plugins or scripts.

🗑️ File Cleaner

Clears out orphaned files and temporary junk — .tmp, .log, .bak — sitting in your uploads folder and taking up space.

🗄️ Database Optimizer

Cleans up post revisions, auto-drafts, spam comments, expired transients, and other database clutter that quietly builds up over time.

⏰ Scheduled Tasks

Set automatic daily, weekly, or monthly scans and cleanups, so optimization happens without you having to remember it.

📋 Activity Log

Every optimization action is tracked with a timestamp and the space it saved, so you always know what’s been cleaned and when.

🖱️ One-Click Operations

Run a full site scan or trigger individual cleaners — images, files, or database — on demand, whenever you need it.

How It Works

1. Open the Dashboard — navigate to MRI SiteOptimizer in your WordPress admin menu to see optimization opportunities at a glance.
2. Run a Module — use the Images, Files, or Database modules individually to scan and clean exactly what you need.
3. Configure Settings — set compression quality, lazy loading, and database cleanup options to match your site.
4. Set a Schedule — turn on daily, weekly, or monthly automatic optimization for hands-off maintenance going forward.

Configuration Options

• Image Compression Type — choose lossy for smaller files or lossless for better quality

• Auto-Compress on Upload — enable or disable automatic compression of new uploads
• Lazy Loading — enable native HTML lazy loading on images
• Database Cleanup Options — choose which types of database clutter to remove
• Schedule — set optimization frequency to daily, weekly, or monthly

Why Use MRI SiteOptimizer?

• Comprehensive — covers images, files, and database cleanup in a single plugin
• Safe by design — the unlinked image cleaner only removes what’s genuinely unused

• Flexible — run cleanups manually or let scheduled tasks handle it automatically
• Built by a developer with 6+ years of experience and 500+ completed WordPress projects

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this delete images that are actually in use? No — the Unlinked Image Cleaner checks posts, pages, widgets, and theme files before flagging an image as unused.

Do I need to run cleanups manually every time? No — Scheduled Tasks let you set daily, weekly, or monthly automatic scans and cleanup.

Can I see what the plugin has cleaned up? Yes — the Activity Log tracks every optimization action with a timestamp and the space it saved.

Is image compression reversible if I don’t like the quality? Compression quality is fully configurable from 1–100, and you can choose lossy or lossless depending on your priorities.
