Most useful plugin – gets rid of bloat! – [Image Regenerate & Select Crop] Review

Love this plugin. So useful.

You can use it to get rid of bloat. What this means, is to get rid of all image sizes you may not need or use. Your theme, WooCommerce etc generate many image sizes. If you just need landing pages and say, use FunnelKit for funnels, checkout, etc you may not need so many images from every imge you uplad.

Also, many of us often upload images we don’t always end up using.
Even for these, eCom plugins, themes, other plugins may auto-generate loads of additional image sizes.

This then gets compounded when you use an image optimization plugin.
My favorite one is Converter for Media [Pro], but I used in the past many others.
All generate optimized images from the original and from ALL other sized ones.

So when backing up your site, the size of the backup can grow to GBs of unnecessary files!
Cost more for storage, makes backups slower, downloading backups slower, stuffs up your local storage, etc.
