Emetrio Media Purge

Does your WordPress website feel slow? Over time, uploading images and files can clog up your hosting space and slow down your backups. Often, many of these images are uploaded but never actually used in any pages, posts, or galleries.

Emetrio Media Purge is a simple, lightweight utility designed to clean up your website’s database and storage by identifying and removing these unused media files safely and quickly.

The plugin works by scanning your WordPress media library and matching items against your content. It finds images, videos, audio files, and documents that are completely disconnected from your site, presenting them in a clear, easy-to-use list view for permanent removal.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Smart Deep Scanning: Scans for media files used as featured images, inline post/page content, WooCommerce product galleries, and custom post types.
• Complete Media Support: Supports all file types, including images, videos, audio tracks, and document files (PDFs, ZIPs, etc.).
• Safe Deletion & Bulk Actions: Clean up your site with a single click using bulk deletion options, or delete files individually after reviewing them.
• Seamless WordPress Integration: Integrates directly into your existing interface. Unused items are clearly labeled with a warning badge in both the native WordPress Media Library and the attachment details screen so you never accidentally delete important assets.
• Performance Boost: Freeing up server space minimizes backup file sizes, speeds up your site, and simplifies server management.
