Gator Cache

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 · 100% 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.

   Far the best cache I tried. Very grateful for this wonderful plugin to “GatorDev” and I hope you continue to improve and update it. A big hug from Argentina.

   I have tried a lot of cache plugins and this is the best. Very simple to configure. I use this plugin in all my website with Autoptimize and a Lazy Load plugin. Thank you! 🙂

   I have tried so many plugins to improve my WooCommerce site. WP Fastest Cache, W3 Total Cache, Hummingbird – the list goes on and on. ALL of them were completely USELESS with caching WooCommerce products pages. With this plugin, product pages load instantaneously. The only negatives are the images take time to load. I also tried using CDN (MaxCDN) and it looked like a mobile website from the 90’s. I’ve stopped using the CDN for now. Quite honestly, the site loads faster than using a CDN. That’s a minuscule price to pay. If you have WooCommerce, you MUST use this plugin. It’s the only one that specifically caches Products pages. No extra configuration necessary for it to work unless you want to tweak. But out of the box, it does what you need. This topic was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by tallbruva.

   I was pleased to see a caching plugin that works with bbpress. Unfortunately, after all the setup it gave us literally a zero increase in our page speed. Not one point higher. I noticed there are support requests weeks old so I didn’t bother looking for help. If anyone has a great caching plugin that works with bbpress, I’m definitely interested.
