AEH Speed Optimization: Browser Cache, Optimized Minify, Lazy Loading & Image Optimization

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 47% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Most reviewers say it just works and speeds things up, with one thanking fast email support, while a couple report it broke their site or CSS and one docks stars over repeated review nags.

   Das Plugin selbst ist sehr gut, es ist aber schlicht eine Zumutung, jedes Mal in WordPress die nervige Aufforderung für eine Bewertung zu erhalten. Deshalb nur 3 Sterne.

   Este plugin me ha ayudado en un problema que tenía con las cabeceras, ya que mi servidor está basado en una distro de nginx (Openresty) y mi proveedor no me daba acceso para modificar el fichero de configuración. Pero con este plugin he podido agregar los headers necesarios. Recomendado!!!!
