Biggest opportunity: Swap “optimize”, “performance” and “pagespeed” for “object cache”, “html cache” and “clear cache”. “optimize” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “object cache” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “performance” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “html cache” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pagespeed” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “clear cache” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →7.7%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 1.3M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 15 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Con l’update 3.0.0 e l’update 3.0.6 ci sono stati dei problemi che hanno compromesso le funzioni di WordPress rendendolo inutilizzabile in certi casi.

Dopo settimane di sito lentissimo ho capito che questa “Hispeed chache” mi blocca tutto il pannello di controllo. Ore perse ad aspettare che il sito caricasse gli articoli, e ore perse a capire che il problema fosse questa HiSpeed Cache. Ma udite udite: la disattivo e lei ritorna sempre! Ogni mattina devo entrare nel sito, disattivare la Speed Cache e poi iniziare a lavorare. Ho contattato il servizio clienti dicendo che non la voglio più, e mi hanno detto che non ci posso fare nulla. E quindi allo scadere del dominio non rinnoverò Aruba, non ci posso fare nulla.

The plugin is unstable: I tested it on several sites (all with the same theme and plugins) and it works only on some of them, crashing the others. The support team doesn’t respond on the forum, but asks you to open a ticket on their website, making the WordPress support forum useless. C.

attivi cose e tutto rallenta, attivi object cache e il sito muore. Chissa’ forse su siti piccoli funziona, non sul mio . ho cambiato 3 temi basati su elementor, greenshift e custom editor… tutti morti dopo aver solo provato ad attivare object cache.. Le altre cose rallentano ma almeno le disattivi e tutto torna normale, object il bottone dell’auto distruzione. La cosa migliore che si puo fare con questo plugin e’ bloccarlo con plugin load filter.. cosi almeno non scoccia, quello si che e’ un upgrade per la velocita!

Se sei su un hosting Aruba, non puoi farne a meno, per far andare veloce come un razzo il tuo WordPress!

Era perfetto! Dopo gli ultimi due aggiornamenti non funziona più e non si integra più con WordPress ma crea problemi. Sito enormemente rallentato ed errori segnalati da WordPress. Nella sezione salute sito di WordPress mi segnalava sempre la mancanza della cache oggetti permanenti, la mancanza della cache generale del sito e risposta server molto lenta. Sono riuscito a risolvere i vari problemi creati dal plugin Aruba trovando, testando e settando per bene altri plugin alternativi solo alcuni vanno bene… This topic was modified 2 years ago by alex1x.
