Biggest opportunity: Add “content distribution”, “distribution” and “rewrites” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #8 and #22 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 860.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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.

I am not happy about the KEYCDN services. I had been using KeyCDN services for 6 months, which I canceled. After canceling, I noticed that all image URLs on my WordPress website were completely broken, and they still show the KeyCDN image URLs even though I have uninstalled their plugin and services. Now, I am manually editing and changing all the image URLs. I am very disappointed with their services. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by Sajjad Hossian.

Working perfectly in version 2.0.2. It just changed the link a little bit, but that’s okay. You guys are awesome, thank you very much!

As a software developer myself, I appreciate the work that goes in to making this plugin. It was easy to set up and performs well. When a recent major version update caused problems, attention was given swiftly and the issue was resolved. If you want an all-in-one CDN solution, purchasing the associated KeyCDN would be a simple and effective choice. The free plugin also works with other CDN providers, we are using AWS CloudFront and this is also working well. This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by nikdow.

This plugin conflicts with the current version of Divi. It prevents the builder from loading.
