Photo Gallery by Supsystic stores galleries and photos in its own database tables (the plugin uses prefixes like spg_galleries and spg_photos depending on version, plus settings and category tables). Each gallery row carries template choice (Grid, Polaroid, Slider, and others), photo count, optional view counter if stats are enabled, and category assignment. The default admin lists galleries with a thumbnail and a shortcode column, but catalogue-wide audits like which template dominates or which galleries actually get viewed are not part of the screen.

SleekView reads the Supsystic gallery and photo tables directly and exposes template, photo count, view count, and timestamps as sortable columns. Charts adds the dashboard pass: total galleries KPI, template-mix donut, view-leader bar, and publish-cadence area.

Sites that use Supsystic as their primary gallery solution for portfolios, photo blogs, or product photography benefit most. The plugin's strength is template variety; the catalogue need is making sure that variety isn't producing visual chaos.

Photo Gallery by Supsystic is a long-running gallery plugin whose template variety and shortcode workflow make it popular for portfolio sites, photo blogs, and visual landing pages. The trade-off is that the plugin's admin treats galleries one at a time, with no cross-gallery surface for template distribution, view counts, or publishing cadence. Sites with years of accumulated galleries end up unable to answer basic questions about their own catalogue without a manual audit.

SleekView reads the spg_ tables directly and exposes template, photo count, view count, and timestamps as a sortable grid. Charts adds the four-card dashboard that turns the catalogue into a planning surface, including the view-leader bar that the plugin's built-in stats never surface as a leaderboard. The Supsystic admin keeps its design-time role, the dashboard adds the catalogue management role.
