Leaving WordPress on its own for image management on a website with a lot of images is stupid.

Items to Consider

  • File Name
    • Naming Convention: Use modern Video Resolution terminology; 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K (which refers to horizontal resolution, whereas 1080i, 720p, etc. refer to vertical resolution)
  • Permalink Name/ Slug / Address
  • Taxonomy (Categories and Tags): Only used for internal WordPress searches and some SEO indexes
  • Other SEO Stuff
  • File Control for various size Thumbnail / Resized Images that are automatically generated by WordPress, Themes, Plugins, etc.
  • SEO stuff
  • Image Index Page?
  • Landing Page? (IE, a "Featherlight Lightbox" display of image, instead of standard page.
  • Plugins To Manage Images and Media
    • Permalink Manager - Manages all Permalinks, including Media and Images, with a Bulk Updater (Make sure to enable "Native Slug" in Tools, Permalink Manager, Settings)
    • Auto Image Attributes - Changes Attributes (ALT, etc.), based on File Name. Useful if there aren't any ALT entries for an image
