Far Future Expiry Header

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 · 73% 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I combined speed of light, far future, ssl insecure content fixer, strano ajax login, gtranslate, sonaar mp3 music player pro, telemetry disable, easy digital downloads, Disable XML-RPC-API, kama click counter, url shortener by mythemeshop, and even though I put My products on the front page – I lost about 1.5 seconds off My score by using this in tandem with speed of light.

   I was really looking forward to installing it. I have two other sites and the plugin works great. Then today I tried to install it and the moment I click to activate it, the main page goes blank (white page). I deactivate and everything comes back. Then I activate again and I get the blank page. Really weird. The only difference with this site is that I am using Slider Revolution, but not sure that has anything to do. Got a ton of other plugins installed but on the other servers also. Scratching my head a little. If anyone has an idea I am all ears :-)…..
