Cache Enabler

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 · 95% 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.

   Wenn es zu Konflikten mit Plugins kommt, sind oft Cache-Plugins die Ursache. Dieses Plugin ist stabil, schlank und bereitet keine Probleme wie so manches deutlich bekanntere Cache-Plugin. Cache Enabler ist übersichtlich, alle Einstellungen sind auf einer Seite und verlieren sich nicht in Menüs und kryptischen Fachausdrücken. This topic was modified 1 month, 2 weeks ago by R.

   Saves html files to /cache/cache-enabler and disabling Cache Enabler doesn’t remove the files!

   I’ve been using this plugin for years, and it works really well! I’ve tried many caching plugins, and this one is by far the easiest to use. It’s lightweight, straightforward, and less likely to cause conflicts with other plugins. I also appreciate that it doesn’t automatically modify your htaccess file.

   The only cache that’s working perfect together with ELEX // get a quote ! Take;s us many testing with a lot of caching programs to find this out.

   Cached files were edited and change the pages to other site. I think should have checksum or something to verify the cache files has original generate from the plugin.
