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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Hi Kevin, First, I want to sincerely thank you for creating the EAC ObjectCache plugin. After enabling it, the backend performance of my site has improved significantly, and I truly appreciate your work in optimizing WordPress object caching.

I really appreciate your time and effort, and again, thank you for developing such a helpful plugin. Best regards,Nguyen Van Tuan This topic was modified 8 months, 2 weeks ago by Nguyen Van Tuan.

    I have installed this plugin to serve as an minimalist object cache to squeeze a little bit more performance from the website i manage. Just for record the website uses woocommerce and WPRocket, and the compability so far seems top notch. So far works great.. Very fast! In fact, better than the other sqlite object cache that is more popular…. So i am surprised this plugin doesn’t have more reviews and installations (hope that changes in the future). I wish you keep updating it and make it even better. Cheers! 🙂 This topic was modified 11 months, 2 weeks ago by racoq.
