Most cleanup plugins tell you an image is unused. This one tells you how sure it is, and why<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n That difference matters, because the cost of being wrong is not symmetric. Leaving an unused image costs you a few kilobytes. Deleting a used one breaks your site \u2014 and you may not find out for weeks.<\/p>\n\n Version 1.1.0 adds an alt text audit with rule-based and optional AI suggestions \u2014 see below.<\/p>\n\n Read the full guide<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 why \"unattached\" is not the same as \"unused\", the places a reference hides, and how to check by hand \u00b7 Plugin page<\/a><\/strong> \u00b7 Development on GitHub<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 report issues or contribute.<\/p>\n\n Scanners search every place an image can hide: featured images and post attachments, post content, Gutenberg blocks and synced patterns, full-site-editing templates, the Customizer, theme options, widgets, menus, Elementor, ACF, WooCommerce, and your theme's PHP, CSS, and JavaScript files.<\/p>\n\n Then two independent judgements are made about every image:<\/p>\n\n These are never blended into one score. A site logo nobody references and a stray upload nobody references look identical to a confidence score, and demand opposite actions.<\/p>\n\n A separate screen lists every image missing alt text (or carrying a weak one like \"IMG_2034\"), suggests a replacement built from the filename, title, or parent post, and applies it only when you say so \u2014 with undo. The suggestion is editable: apply it as-is or write your own words. Images can be marked decorative, a Dashboard card tracks your coverage, and The alt text screen can also ask an AI model \u2014 but only if you enable it under Settings and add your own API key. One-click presets for Gemini, OpenAI, Groq, and OpenRouter fill in the endpoint and a working default model, so setup is \"pick yours, paste the key\" \u2014 and a test-connection button confirms it works before you spend anything. The plugin ships no key and makes no AI calls on its own. Each suggestion is reviewed in the textbox before anything is saved, exactly like a rule-based one, with rate-limit handling and cached answers so you never pay twice for the same image.<\/p>\n\n AI suggestions are off by default. When you enable them and save a key, each image you ask about is sent \u2014 resized to at most 1024px \u2014 together with its filename and its parent post's title, to the service at the base URL you configured. The plugin itself stores nothing externally; what the service does with that data is governed by its own terms, which you accept when you create your key. Providers differ \u2014 some train on API data, some do not \u2014 so read your chosen service before enabling. Examples (your own service's terms apply, not these examples):<\/p>\n\n No other part of this plugin contacts any external service. Scans, suggestions, and reports all run on your own site.<\/p>\n\n Open any image and you can see which scanner found what, how strong each piece of evidence was, and exactly why the plugin reached its conclusion. A confidence score you cannot inspect is a number you have no reason to trust.<\/p>\n\n A perfect scan reports 97%, not 100%. Proving an image is used<\/em> takes one piece of evidence; proving it is unused<\/em> means proving the absence of evidence everywhere \u2014 and \"everywhere\" is not somewhere you can finish visiting. Theme frameworks store images in ways nobody can fully predict, and page builders can assemble URLs at render time.<\/p>\n\n The plugin reports the honest number rather than a comfortable one.<\/p>\n\n\n That is the failure mode the entire design exists to prevent, and it is why coverage floors, risk ceilings, and never-delete rules all sit between a scan and any action. But no scanner can see a URL assembled at runtime, or an image embedded in a newsletter you sent last year. Trash first, and check before emptying it.<\/p><\/dd>\n Elementor is supported directly. For builders that are not \u2014 Divi, Bricks, Oxygen \u2014 a fallback scanner sweeps for image references it does not understand. It will not raise your confidence score, because it cannot prove it searched thoroughly. It can and does prevent deletions.<\/p><\/dd>\n Open the dashboard. If a scanner failed, it is named. If coverage is below 70%, it says so. The score is never lowered without a reason you can read.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Nothing is ever deleted without you clicking, and nothing is deleted in one step.<\/p><\/dd>\n Every table and option the plugin created is removed. Your media is not touched.<\/p><\/dd>\n The Media Library's \"Unattached\" filter is not the answer \u2014 see below. Check post content, post meta (ACF fields, page builders, featured images), options (logo, Customizer, widgets), and theme files, by filename and by attachment ID. Or run a scan here: every image gets a confidence score with the evidence behind it.<\/p><\/dd>\n Only after two conditions: the image is proven unused (not merely unattached), and deletion goes through Trash first so a mistake is reversible. This plugin enforces both \u2014 it refuses Trash for anything at Medium risk or above, and nothing is ever deleted in one step.<\/p><\/dd>\n Every upload stays unless someone removes it, and WordPress generates several resized copies per upload. Unused originals plus their thumbnails accumulate silently. A periodic scan keeps it flat.<\/p><\/dd>\n It can, in ways no database scan sees. An image can be unused on your site and still rank in Google Images or be hotlinked elsewhere \u2014 check Search Console, Performance, Images before a bulk delete. Deleted URLs return 404, which loses any signal they had; redirect if they mattered. Sitemaps list images too, and take time to regenerate. When in doubt, Trash and wait before emptying.<\/p><\/dd>\n \"Unattached\" only means the image was not uploaded inside a post. It says nothing about whether anything references it \u2014 a logo, a Customizer image and most page-builder images are all \"unattached\" and all in use. Unused means no reference anywhere, which takes a real search to establish.<\/p><\/dd>\n Only when you ask it to, image by image. Enabling AI and saving your own key sends nothing by itself. Each \"Suggest with AI\" click sends that one image (resized to at most 1024px), its filename and its parent post's title to the service you configured \u2014 see \"External services\" above for exactly what goes where. Rule-based suggestions never leave your site.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Nothing is applied until you click Save or Apply on that image, and every change keeps an undo. Marking decorative, editing the suggestion by hand, or dismissing an AI suggestion all work the same way \u2014 your call, reversible.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not always. This screen reads the alt text stored on the image itself; a theme or page builder may override it where the image is shown, so what a visitor actually hears can differ. Fix the stored text here first \u2014 that is the source everything else falls back to.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWhat it actually does<\/h4>\n\n
