of downloads still active
At least 10 of 9.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| cdnjs your tag | #24 | #12 | 0 |
| cdn your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cloudflare your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| css your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| js your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Under-ranked on “cdnjs”. wp.org puts you #24; on merit you place #12. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- “cdn”, “cloudflare” and “css” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Cdnjs resources load before jquery so some library doesn’t work because jquery not defined yet. I see there is alphabetical order but we need custom order to handle this problem.

I guess not compatible with latest wordpress. Cant even access setting option. Full while screen. Dont know if its functioning or not ?

Labeled as CDN, includes thousands of JS libraries. What an ordinary user knows about them? No configuration options, no nothing. No description. What the use? Developers like these confuse the already confused WordPress users.

After farting around with CDN Sync Tool for 2 days to try and get my 20 sites going faster and faster I found this plugin and Bang! This plugin + Supercache + CDN Sync Tool is absolutely Amazing!

As the plugin author, it’s necessary to clear up confusion on the previous review. This plugin is absolutely necessary whether you’re using W3 Total Cache and/or CloudFlare. This plugin helps by offloading the download of resources from your individual server, to a central, high-speed repository. Very useful in squeezing out the best performance you can for your site, and not really related to W3 Total Cache. Enjoy! Paul.
