Cache by Folium

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.

   I’m a fan of the plugin but it’s out of date. Some settings seem inactive even though they are active 🙂

   I installed this one WordPress v5.4.1, entered the CDN URL, hit ‘save’, the page reloaded, and the URL didn’t save. So I did it again, and again, the URL wouldn’t save. So I promptly uninstalled it. Not sure if it’s an issue with 5.4.1 (since the plugin indicates that it hasn’t been tested with this version yet) or what?

   There are many components to the optimization plugin. VERY MISLEADING when one plugin is called one thing from a developer and another part is called something else from a different developer. I’m trying to see what plugins were bogging down my system, it took over 30 minutes to figure out every plugin that was connected to this. If your going to do an optimization plugin — keep the name consistent for the developer. BTW it did nothing for my site other than slow it down worse.

   Gave it a try. Looks promising but GUI is just too much and support is slow at this point. May try again in future. Back to hyper cache for now.
