Cachify

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 · 71% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I’m simply amazed at how simple and super quick this plugin is. Even if I was sponsored to use another caching plugin I simply wouldn’t!

   I rarely write review but this plugin is really well deserved. Certainly this is a reliable caching plugin can go against the major competitors out there. There are many reviews out there suggesting the load times are not as fast as other big players, but that is simply not true. I tested myself and can confirm this actually loads faster than those claimed to be faster in those popular reviews in the wild. This plugin only do 1 thing unlike its competitor and it nailed it! I particular like the built-in compatibility with other plugins I’ve used, non-intrusive at all, also the way it caches with its HDD mode, that’s how a real cache mechanism should work. I have been using many of the popular caching plugin in my production sites, until I gave Cachify a try, and I am a totally satisfied with it. The only concerns for some people is the manual configuration on the htaccess file to make it work, but that’s never an issue for me for just copy and paste a paragraph of setting into 1 file. Good work guys! Thank you for your great efforts developing this excellent plugin! Please keep this simple and free.
