Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

WordPress can process media uploads in the browser, resizing and compressing images on your own device before they are sent to the server. This plugin turns that off, so uploads fall back to the traditional server-side path.

There is nothing to configure – activate the plugin and client-side media processing is off. It is a single filter:

add_filter( 'wp_client_side_media_processing_enabled', '__return_false' );

Useful when you want to compare server-side and client-side upload behavior, or when a site needs the server-side path for consistency.
