WP-Optimize writes its page cache to wp-content/cache/wpo-cache/ with one file per URL, stores configuration in the wpo_cache_config and wp-optimize-* options, and schedules cleanup runs through wp_cron tasks like wpo_cron_event. Image compression results land in wp_postmeta under smush-complete and wpo_smush_compressed. The default admin gives you a cache size summary, a cleanup wizard, and an image gallery, but no per-row list that ties URLs, cleanup jobs, and image runs together.

SleekView reads the WP-Optimize options, the cron registry, and the cache directory index so cache, database, and image data sit in one workspace. One row per URL can show the cached file size, last refresh, and whether preload completed. Cleanup jobs become their own table with the next run date, the rows expected, and the last run's elapsed time. Image rows surface attachment ID, original bytes, compressed bytes, and the format converted to.

SleekView is read-only against the cache directory and writes only through WP-Optimize's standard option and cron APIs for inline actions. The plugin keeps purging files and running scheduled cleanups exactly as before. Saved views like Stale cached URLs or Cleanup jobs missed can be scoped per role so a developer audits the cache without holding rights to the image compression settings or licence key.

WP-Optimize bundles three different jobs into one plugin: a page cache, a database cleaner, and an image compressor. Each subsystem is helpful in isolation, but the admin treats them as separate tabs with separate summaries. That is fine until something quietly drifts.

The page cache misses a few URLs after a deploy, the optimize tables job runs late because a long-running query held a lock, and the image module fails on a large WebP conversion. Stakeholders only notice when a page is slow or a backup is huge. SleekView reads the cache directory, the cron registry, and the image meta as one workspace, so URLs, cleanup jobs, and compression runs share columns and filters.

Stale files float to the top, missed cron events show up immediately, and image failures become a punch list. The plugin keeps purging cache, cleaning tables, and compressing images on its own schedule; SleekView just lets the operator read all three queues at once instead of toggling between tabs.
