Clearfy Cache – WordPress optimization plugin, Minify HTML, CSS & JS, Defer

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 · 36% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   A convenient plugin. Convenient setup. It is convenient to copy settings and transfer them from one site to another. I have an unlimited version.

   It’s a good plugin. It’s a pity that support was curtailed. But the information about it that is displayed on every page in the admin panel is not good. This topic was modified 7 months, 3 weeks ago by CheGevara29.

   Such a feature-rich plugin abandoned is really sad. I’ll need at least 5 more plugins now and custom scripts to retrieve something like it. Some features I really liked put together were : a really great image optimiser with plenty options for FREE ! hide selected admin notices small yet useful security scripts small yet useful SEO tricks My POV : since you sold your work to Super page cache, you can now rebuild a similar plugin, simply without cache 🙂

   It would be highly beneficial if you could implement the functionality to upload an image for each category or tag. This feature would streamline the process and eliminate the need to replace images repeatedly when publishing new articles.

   It is the best free plugin for optimizing an online store, especially for a site that uses many plugins. It managed to improve my page speed from 18 to 45-50 without affecting the website’s functionality. I have tried many others, but Clearfy is simply perfect for me, and I hope it will be for you as well. Clearfy provides timely updates, and the developers address any bugs reported on the forum in a relatively short time. Thank you, Clearfy! Este cel mai bun plugin free pentru optimizarea unui magazin online, mai ales pentru un sit care foloseste multe pluginuri. A reusit sa imi optimizeze in page speed de la 18 la 45-50 fara a afecta functionalitatea websitului. Am mai incercat si multe altele dar Clearfy este pur si simplu perfect pentru mine si sper sa fie si pentru voi. clearfy are upteturi la timp iar dezvoltatorii rezolva orice bug comunicat pe forum intr-un timp relativ scurt. Multumesc Clearfy

   كانت اضافة Clearfy افضل اضافة للتحكم في طلبات ووردبريس لكن الان لاكثر من 3 ايام يوجد عطل في خادم تحديث الاضافة وهي الان غير متوافقه مع التحديثات الاخير لووردبريس. Clearfy was the best plugin for managing WordPress requests. However, for more than 3 days, there has been an issue with the plugin’s update server, and it is now incompatible with the latest WordPress updates.

   I’ve had too much trouble for far too long now with Clearfy.Code quality is very poor – always security issues and some things just don’t work. Very bad support at all as every reaction takes endless (PHP 8.2 compatibility, all the latest security fixes, answers here under support…). So I’m DONE with Clearfy and switch all our sites to ASE Pro.
