Description
Fabrica Dashboard gives you a better overview of your content and site activity, especially useful for multi-user editorial sites. Its widgets give you an instant insight into:

- recent activity and updates across content, media, and comments
- upload sizes / formats and possible security issues
No configuration needed:
- automatically shows any Custom Post Types or Custom Taxonomies used by themes or plugins
- respects each user’s role and privileges
- compatible with other Dashboard widgets (WooCommerce, Analytics, etc)

Every element it adds to the dashboard is useful and there’s no configuration needed. It’s very fast. It counts a large number of media items very quickly, even on my largest website with 26k original images and 90k resized images. It supports ACF with Post Types, which is great.
Media breakdown helps me find files that don’t show up in the WordPress media library. I’ve never seen any other plugin that counts resized images. This is a wonderful dashboard plugin that gives you a much better overview of your website.
