## Descrizione

This plugin enables content and marketing teams to quickly detect heavy images and
missing alt text directly in the WordPress Media Library. With sorting, filters,
bulk actions, dashboard widgets and downloadable reports, you can keep your images
optimized for better performance, accessibility and image SEO.

You can:

 * Sort the Media Library by file size to easily identify large files.
 * Filter images that don’t have alternative text (alt text).
 * Use size-based filters (for example: optimal size, medium size, large size) to
   prioritize which images to optimize first.
 * Run a Bulk Action in the Media Library to calculate file sizes for existing uploads.
 * Export CSV reports including file size, format (MIME type), URL, alt text, image
   date, post title and post URL — ideal for audits or sharing with your team.
 * See a summary of your Media Library in a dashboard widget, including how many
   images are heavy or missing alt text.
 * Configure weekly or monthly email reports so you can monitor the optimization
   status of your images without logging into WordPress.

More information (in Spanish) about how the plugin works: [How to know if we have to reduce weight to the image and Alt SEO attribute](https://www.bubuku.com/blog/como-saber-reducir-peso-imagen-atributo-alt-seo/)

### Quick Start

 1. From your server (SSH), move the plugin folder to the plugins directory:
 2. wp-content/plugins/bubuku-media-library/
 3. Activate the plugin via the WordPress admin or using WP-CLI:
 4. wp plugin activate bubuku-media-library
 5. (Optional) Run the bulk action in Media > Library to calculate file sizes for existing
    images.

### Evaluate results

**Recommended Tools**
 – [Lighthouse](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/)(
in Chrome DevTools) — Analyze image weight and format, as well as the use of alternative
text (ALT). – [WebPageTest](https://www.webpagetest.org/) — Check how images affect
real-world load times. – [Squoosh](https://squoosh.app/) — Compare visual quality
and file size savings when optimizing images. – [WAVE Accessibility Tool](https://wave.webaim.org/)—
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.

## Installazione

 1. Unzip the plugin ZIP file on your computer.
 2. Copy or move the resulting folder to the “wp-content/plugins/” directory of your
    WordPress installation.
 3. Log in to the WordPress admin area and navigate to the “Plugins” screen.
 4. Locate “Bubuku Media Library” in the plugins list and click “Activate” to enable
    the plugin.
 5. (Optional) Go to the plugin settings page to configure report options (weekly, 
    monthly or disabled) and other filters.
 6. Ensure your installation meets the requirements listed in the plugin header (WordPress
    and PHP versions) before using it in production.

## FAQ

### What does each color mean?

Green = <= 100KB (good), Orange = 100KB – 500KB (medium), Red = >= 500KB (poor).

### How can I recalculate sizes after optimizing images?

Use the “Calculate file size” Bulk Action in the Media Library, or click the recalculate
button on individual attachments to update the stored file size.

### Can I disable the weekly reports?

Yes — go to the plugin settings page and select the report frequency: Weekly, Monthly
or Disabled.

### Are generated reports compatible with my language?

The plugin uses WordPress localization files. If your language is available under
the `languages/` directory, the texts will be displayed in that language when WordPress
is configured accordingly.

### How can I filter the Media Library by file size?

Use the size filter provided by the plugin in Media  Library to select a predefined
range or enter custom limits. You can also sort the size column to quickly find 
the largest or smallest files.

### How can I find images that don’t have alt text?

Use the “Alt Text” filter in the Media Library to show items missing alternative
text, or sort the Alt column to group empty values together for quick review.

### How do I export the report to CSV?

Use the Export / Reports functionality in the plugin and click the “Export CSV” 
button. The generated CSV contains the following columns: ID, Image Name, Image 
URL, File Size, Format (MIME type), Alt Text, Image Date (Y-m-d H:i:s), Post Title,
Post URL.

### Can you show an example CSV row?

Example (CSV columns separated by commas):

    ```
    123,"my-image.jpg","https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/my-image.jpg","256.34 KB","image/jpeg","An example alt text","2024-01-10 12:34:56","Example Post","https://example.com/example-post/"
    ```

### Which encoding is used and how to open the file in Excel?

The plugin adds a UTF-8 BOM to the CSV for better compatibility with Excel. If Excel
shows garbled characters, import the CSV using Excel’s Data  From Text/CSV and choose
UTF-8 encoding.

### Are there any permission or security checks for export?

Yes — the export checks that the current user has the `upload_files` capability 
and verifies a nonce (`bml_filter_nonce`) to prevent CSRF. If the checks fail, the
export is blocked.

Un descubrimiento. Es tan necesario este plugin que no lo aconsejaría sólo a los
que nos dedicamos a la optimización de WordPress sino incluso a creadores de contenidos,
profesionales del SEO, Marketing, etc. etc. Otra arma para mi arsenal.

 [Paulo Carvajal](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pauloc/) 19 Ottobre 2022

A tool that helps outline big images or those that don’t have the alt attribute.
Very useful if you are improving a site’s WPO or looking after better accessibility.
It does what it says, and it does it right.

 [Carlos Longarela](https://profiles.wordpress.org/carloslongarela/) 19 Settembre

Una idea excelente, imprescindible en toda biblioteca de utilidades WPO para la 
correcta optimización de las webs. Además, tiene aún algunas posibilidades de crecimiento
como mostrar en el frontend a los usuarios conectados como admin las imágenes con
un outline en caso de no tener definido el alt img:not([alt]) o quizás también leer
el tamaño de las imágenes y mostrar los códigos de color según su peso, etc. Como
digo, una idea excelente, de un excelente programador.
