SleekView Charts for Flying Images
SleekView Charts reads flying_images_* options, the attachment table and the cached rewrite map. Statically CDN coverage, native lazy-load adoption and image counts per template become Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards instead of a single toggle.

Image optimisation is invisible until you count it
Flying Images takes a deliberately small approach to image optimisation: rewrite image URLs to the Statically CDN for on-the-fly resizing and format conversion, and let the browser handle lazy loading natively. The settings screen has a toggle for the CDN, a toggle for native lazy load, an exclusion list and not much else. From the user's side it just works. From the admin's side it is essentially invisible.
That is fine until something drifts. A CDN exclusion gets added and silently turns off rewrites on the product templates. A new plugin enqueues images that bypass the filter. A landing page accumulates fifty raw uploads that never went through the optimiser. From the toggle screen everything still looks green.
SleekView Charts reads the same wp_posts, wp_postmeta and attachment data Flying Images touches, joins it to the active rewrite map, and surfaces the result as chart cards. A Number card tallies attachments served through the CDN. A Pie splits attachments by MIME type. A Bar groups image counts per template, exposing which layouts are heaviest. An Area trends new uploads per week, so an editorial pile-up shows up before it costs anyone a Core Web Vitals score.

Comparison
Default Flying Images settings vs SleekView Charts
Default Flying Images settings
- Settings screen shows a CDN toggle with no coverage number
- No view of how many attachments actually go through the rewrite
- No split of attachments by MIME type or modern-format adoption
- No template-level breakdown of image counts
- No time series of new uploads to spot an editorial pile-up
SleekView Charts
- KPI card for attachments served through Statically CDN
- Pie split across MIME types including WebP and AVIF
- Bar of image counts per template for layout optimisation
- Area trend of new uploads per week for capacity planning
- Same dataset behind the table and chart views with shared filters
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Flying Images
Coverage as a number
Render Flying Images as a KPI of CDN-served attachments plus a pie of MIME types. The settings screen says the rewrite is on. The dashboard says how far it actually reaches.
Filters span table and chart
Filter to attachments excluded from the CDN, to a specific parent post type or to a single template, and both the chart cards and the underlying table view stay in sync.
Share a read-only snapshot
Send a stakeholder a URL of the image-coverage dashboard or export the filtered set to CSV. Quarterly performance reviews get a measurable picture instead of a toggle status.
Audience
Who builds Flying Images charts dashboards with SleekView
Performance engineers
Track CDN coverage as a KPI and watch MIME-type adoption, then catch a regression where a new plugin pushes raw PNG uploads that bypass the optimiser entirely.
Content editors
Use the per-template image-count bar to spot layouts that consistently push fifty images above the fold, then redesign the heavy template instead of asking writers to add fewer pictures.
Agency support
Give clients a read-only dashboard of image-coverage health so they can self-serve obvious questions about CDN status without opening a ticket every release.
The bigger picture
Why a thin image plugin still needs a coverage panel
Flying Images stays installed because it is one of the few image plugins that does not try to be a full optimisation suite: it rewrites URLs to the Statically CDN and lets the browser handle native lazy loading. The cost of that thinness is that the admin surface tells you almost nothing past install day. Whether the rewrite still reaches every attachment a year later.
Whether new uploads are landing in modern formats or backsliding to PNG. Which templates carry the bulk of image weight. Whether the upload pile is growing faster than the team can review.
None of that is visible from the toggle screen, and most teams discover the gap when a Core Web Vitals score moves and nobody can explain why. SleekView Charts reuses the rewrite map and the attachment graph to build a real coverage dashboard: a KPI for CDN-served attachments, a pie for MIME mix, a bar for images per template and an area for uploads per week. Same Flying Images behaviour.
Completely different ability to govern it.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Flying Images
The flying_images_* options, the cached Statically rewrite map, wp_posts where post_type is attachment, wp_postmeta for size and dimension data, and the joined parent post for template grouping. No third-party API call is made to render the charts.
Yes. The MIME-split, template-breakdown and upload-trend cards rely only on the standard attachment graph, so they work whether the CDN is enabled or not. The CDN-coverage KPI specifically tracks the rewrite map, so it goes to zero when the rewrite is disabled and lights up when it is enabled.
No. SleekView reads from the same database tables the WP media admin already uses and never alters the image-rewrite path. Front-end visitors keep getting Flying Images behaviour exactly as configured.
Yes. post_mime_type is a primary column, so every chart card accepts a filter for image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp, image/avif or image/svg+xml. Useful when planning a migration from legacy formats to modern ones.
Yes. Group by post_date with an Area or Line card and a Count aggregation to see new attachments per week or per month. Useful for capacity planning and for confirming a content moratorium actually slowed uploads.
Yes. Any filtered set behind a chart card exports as CSV with the same columns the underlying table view would show. Performance leads use this to brief a developer on the heavy templates or to share a quarterly media-health report.
Yes. Flying Images and other image plugins (ShortPixel, EWWW, Imagify) often coexist for different jobs. SleekView reads the standard WordPress attachment graph plus the Flying Images rewrite map, so the dashboard is accurate whether one plugin or several touch the same attachments.
Yes. Each subsite has its own flying_images_* options and its own media library, and SleekView respects that scope. A network sees one image-coverage dashboard per subsite, matching how Flying Images itself behaves when activated network-wide.
