Lazy Load by WP Rocket is a render-time optimizer. It hooks into the_content and replaces native src attributes with data-src on images, iframes, and videos so the browser can defer them. The plugin itself does not write per-image rows or postmeta on attachments. Its settings live in wp_options under rocket_lazyload_options, and that is it.

SleekView Charts ignores the settings row and goes straight to the source of truth: the attachments and the post content the plugin actually touches. Number cards count total media attachments and the average file size across the library. Pie cards split wp_posts attachments by post_mime_type so the team sees how much of the lazy-loaded payload is JPEG, PNG, WebP, or video. Bar cards rank content authors by image upload volume using post_author, and area cards trace upload cadence over post_date to align the editorial calendar with what is going to be lazy loaded next.

Every card reads attachment data WordPress already stores. The plugin keeps replacing src with data-src at render time exactly as before, and the dashboard becomes the admin-side companion that explains the shape of the library lazy load applies to.

Lazy Load by WP Rocket is a runtime that defers everything below the fold without saving per-image rows to the database. That is the right design for a lightweight optimizer, but it leaves the editorial and performance teams without a reporting surface for the library being deferred. The default Media Library list shows files, never the shape of the catalog.

A performance lead wants to read the MIME type mix to see WebP coverage. A site admin wants to read total file size and average weight to plan a Squoosh or Imagify pass. An editorial lead wants per-uploader load and weekly cadence to plan the next sprint.

SleekView Charts ignores the plugin's options row and reads the attachments WordPress already stores, then renders them as a chart dashboard the admin would otherwise refuse to be. The lazy load runtime continues to behave exactly as before because none of the underlying attachment data has changed.
