Comet Cache

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank

wp.org popularity rank over time · lower is better

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 · 99% 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.

   I have used this product on a couple of websites I have built and have had positive results, however after a few days of operation, on one of the websites, the product would produce a visible text error on top of the home page of one of the websites I used it on. This was regardless of the way I configured it, and the cache had to be flushed to resume normal operation. This plugin also has paid versions that add some capability to an already good product. I eventually switched to a different product as my standard for commercial websites, but still believe this product to be one of the better cache plugins on WordPress.org. It is a good product, and I recommend downloading the latest free version and running it for a few days to determine compatibility with your specific website!

   Perfect for a site with static pages (e.g. with no user comments, etc), it generates html pages on the fly, super fast, good results in google speed test.

   Funktioniert als “stand alone Anwendung” gut, also ohne andere Pugins. Eigentlich nicht das was ich mir von einem Cache Plug und einem “Pro Plug-In” erwartet hätte. Macht Probleme mit MonsterInsights Pro und dem blog2social Plug z.B. Was auch noch ein ganz großes Minus ist, es findet keine wirkliche Admin-Warnung statt, so als selbst-Test so zu sagen, ob das Plugin fehlerfrei läuft oder nicht.

   Comet Cache is the most easiest to use and setup caching plugin which sped up many of my clients sites which were lagging real bad when none of the other caching solutions were working properly out of the box. Its such a pity that perhaps the best caching plugin for wordpress has been abandoned by its developers, i wish we could do something to help !

   I BEEN USING W3 Total Cache for a month and I see the effect and the speed of my Website its like 6-8sec. but when I try comet-cache my eyes could not believe it from 6sec to 1.2 secs what a huge difference, you save me from purchasing wp rocket plugin. especially im only starting my website for my business. Someday I will purchase the license.

   It just works. And on sites where other caching plugins actually slowed things down!
