FastPixel Cache – Optimize Page Speed: Compress Images, Minify, Clean Database & CDN

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 · 26% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Für meine Website helpfully.de (CMS WordPress) habe ich erst Shortpixel zur Bildoptimierung genutzt. Ergänzt, aufgrund der Performance (vor allem Ladezeiten), habe ich dann auch noch Fastpixel. Erstmal das unbezahlte Tool, dann aufgestockt auf Plan A, da mir die Pageviews ausgegangen sind. Meine Website lädt enorm, meine Pagespeed-Zahlen sind stark. Auch der Hinweis, dass ich nicht nur monatlich die Pageviews nutzen, sondern die gesamte Jahres-Summe nutzen kann, sollte ich mal mehr als die enthaltenen (300.000/Monat) brauchen, ist eine mega Leistung. Ich nutze Fastpixel als Haupt-Cache für meine Site, WP-Optimize zur Reinigung 1 x pro Woche – so bin ich super aufgestellt.Support: Was ein Service – ich kann es nicht glauben?!?! Wie schnell hier geantwortet wird, sogar am Wo-ende! Einfach super und ein riesen Kompliment ans Team von Fastpixel/Shortpixel! Ich habe wirklich online/technisch nie einen besseren Service erlebt und ich bin permanent digital unterwegs!Wenn du für deine Website ein Tool zur Bild- und Speedoptimierung brauchst, kann ich Short/Fastpixel uneingeschränkt empfehlen!Danke euch, Tati

   After some initial issues with my theme (Generate Press), the Fastpixel team found a solution. My site is now working as it should. My Page Speed (mobile) has gone up from around 65 to between 75 and 90 without me having to do anything.

   FastPixel is a great all-in-one performance plugin. Setup was quick, and it worked right away without extra steps. It handles image optimization, caching, and speed in one place, so I no longer need multiple plugins. The dashboard is simple and easy to understand. My site feels faster, and page speed scores improved after activation. Support has also been responsive and helpful so far. I would recommend FastPixel to anyone who wants faster WordPress sites with less complexity.

   Ich habe Fastpixel letzten Sommer ausprobiert und war extrem skeptisch. Das klang alles zu gut, um wahr zu sein: Übersichtliche Konfiguration, die dem Benutzer so viel wie möglich abnimmt und trotzdem noch flexibel ist. Echte Geschwindigkeitsvorteile, die andere Plugins versprechen, aber nicht halten können.Sehr fairer Free-Tarif und sehr bezahlbare Pakete. Umso überraschender dann die Erkenntnis, dass das alles nicht nur im Marketing funktioniert, sonder auch auf meiner Website. Happy! Das Beste ist dann aber vielleicht der schnelle und hilfreiche Support, wenn Fragen zum Upgrade oder beim Zusammenspiel mit Shortpixel zu klären sind. Bestes Support-Erlebnis seit Ewigkeiten! Im Zeitalter von KI-agents um so wichtiger. Für mich ab jetzt ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil einer WordPress-Installation!

   I’ve got to say… As an agency owner, I’ve tried almost every optimization plugin out there. FastPixel is, hands down, the easiest one to use and configure. It’s truly plug-and-play. Yes, even the CDN works out of the box, without any DNS changes. Yes, I’ve been very impressed by that too. Beyond the simplicity, it delivers impressive results. Even on older or poorly optimized websites, the speed improvement is huge. And whenever I ran into a minor issue, the support team was super responsive and helpful, solving everything quickly. Overall, FastPixel is a rare mix of simplicity, power, and great support. Highly recommended.
