APH Merge Scripts

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 · 100% 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.

   Your plugin is good, but it is not working on all pages. It store css and javascript of first page. on others pages there more some css which is not loaded.

   The safer script minify compare to others without breaking site and also have a flexibility to select any needed. Thanks

   Let me just say that all the other plugins out there to minify JS & CSS either break my site or don’t work at all. With this plugin I can customize which javascript files I want to minify and combine and which I can leave out. Now when you go through the settings be sure to check Show Manage Scripts Menu on the Admin Bar as it’s essential to make sure this plugin works with your theme. By process of elimination you can make sure your theme is intact and the great thing about this plugin is that it does not overwrite any of your javascript or theme files. So with a simple check box you can revert everything as it was. Now my only complaint with this plugin is that still has Query Strings that won’t allow my static content to cache. Also I would appreciate in the future some support with using a CDN like Amazon Cloudfront or WP Engine or MaxCDN.
