GenTime: Inspect page generation time

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 · 80% 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.

   And does it quite well! As an enhancement I’d love to see what queries and remote calls took the longest.

   Did that object cache have an effect on the back end? Did that PHP 8.2 upgrade change page generation times? Is the server currently bogged down, or am I just impatient? GenTime is so simple and yet so useful. By having basic page generation timer in the admin bar at all times, it really helps to qualify the website speed over time. Don’t underestimate the importance of backend speed. When managing WordPress websites all day, a few 100 ms at every click, makes a difference. GenTime is a stable on the sites I administer now. Highly recommended

   Doesn’t bog down the system and works as expected! Better than any other timing plugin I’ve used.

   I love Sybre’s plugins. This one is soo simple, soo useful, no idea how this feature is not included in most seo or all-purpose plugins. Highly recommended for people dedicated to speed up their site!
