Fresh Forms for Gravity

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 · 97% 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.

   Whilst this does in fact do ‘what is says on the tin’ it actually creates more headaches… If you have a site which relies on caching, in effect, any page with gravity forms on, will no longer be cached. This plugin may solve one problem of Gravity form not being hidden by a cache tool, but it negates the benefit of caching the whole page or post that Gravity is displayed in and for the sake of GF being displayed…. If you have a big page that you wish to rank well for, any benefit of caching it, is lost by using GF… It would appear, the issue with Gravity forms comes from additional plugins which are used to embed or style the form. If the Gravity form is used in clean code, the impact of it being hidden by LS Cache or other Caching tool, is void. This isn’t a dig at the plugin developer. It’s just a fact, the plugin (for me) does not solve a problem, it just shifts the problem to another area. It’s more important to have a correctly cached page than disable it to have a Gravity Form in it…

   This plugin was recommended by Gravity Forms priority support to resolve an issue with a form not loading while LiteSpeed Cache was running. After clearing the LiteSpeed Cache and local browser cached It worked perfectly, the form now loads no problem! This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by Warren.

   We were referred to this plugin by Gravity Forms’ Dev Ops Team. Works like a charm. It solves many Gravity Forms issues caused when minifying JS files via a cache plugin. Prior to installing this plugin, we had to use both SG Optimizer and WP Rocket to solve our Gravity Forms issue. Thanks to this plugin, however, we only have to use one cache plugin. In our case, we decided to stick with SG Optimizer. Job well done. Thank you!

   The plugin saves you a lot of time and effort when dealing with caching and Gravity Forms with a classic, clean and lightweight efficiency! The latter update, which added some support to ACF is yet another wonderful addition. Samuel Aguilera is extremely responsive and efficient. I appreciate the thoughtful and brilliant collaboration to the open source community.

   <!– wp:paragraph –> <p>As regular users of Gravity Forms and a certain leading WP host, we hit an issue with cached data getting attached to the wrong form submission – a potential nightmare. The host was able to disable caching on the form page, but we’d have to go and ask them every time we created a new form, which is a pain.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p>Fresh Forms for Gravity not only solves this problem, but the support from Samuel is outstanding – on two occasions we’ve reported a hiccup with our host which he tested and fixed incredibly quickly.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p>Problem solved and we’re very grateful!</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by Square Eye.

   I just wanted to shoot you a quick note about this nifty little plugin you created. First, let me say, please at the very least put up a way for people to donate to you if they can. This plugin saved me a ton of headaches and is now living on all the sites where I have Gravity Forms installed – for god’s sake, sell this little sucker. Genius. This is just genius. You may want to consider the pricing model the One Dollar Plugin guy uses, $1 per month, $12 per year. This makes it affordable for the very little guys. Second, just a good ol’ fashioned THANK YOU! You get the hero of my day award. Seriously. The awards’ not worth a damn thing but you got it anyhow. A sure fan here!
