Biggest opportunity: Add “lifetime” and “cache purge” to your wp.org tags. You rank #23 and #24 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 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →12%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 81.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,104 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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 4 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Add “lifetime” and “cache purge” to your wp.org tags. You rank #23 and #24 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 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- Slipping on “cache”. Down 7 places since 2026-08-04, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.

So far Cloudpanel is working great, and this plugin does what it says of clearing the Varnish cache when needed. If you are using Cloudpanel you should install this.
