HTTP/2 Server Push

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 14 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 900.

   It’s not enough to trigger a proper HTTP2 Server Push without warnings for all preloaded resources. It needs some header checks.

   Boink ! endless hours fine tuning and agonizing over my complicated site(s) with a gazillion plugins and scripts. tried every cache ever made for wordpress. different CDN’s… fire breathing VPS… without Cloudflare, and Simple Cache site loads in something like 16 seconds now using all free cloudflare, simple cache and HTTP/2 Server Push… Pingdom is telling me it loaded in UNDER 2 seconds…

   Hey I am very much interested in the concept of using server push and I have tried it with some sites using the plugin in combination with another plugin called WP Asset Clean Up . WP Asset Clean Up allows you to deregister styles and scripts that you do not want/need on every page. It was much easier for a quick test than writing some conditional logic. I have compared it with loading times against a normal w3 total cache site where everything is minified and cached. So far for the bloated theme (salient), the loading times are actually much better for the website using w3 total cache, but I still think that a lightweight theme with conditional logic for js and css in combination with server push will be my future concept for the next websites we are developing. I also got the 520 errors from cloudflare when editing the pages but this can be circumvented by switching the plugin off before editing. Keep up the good work I think there is great potential in this plugin. I think that prefetch, preload and deregister could be options that one could choose for each script/style on each page to really only load scripts when they are needed. Thanks again! Tino

   Unfortunately this didn’t work for me. I tried two websites, running Photocrati and Interface themes. I don’t run a caching plugin, but I cleared my web server cache and browser cache multiple times. I gave the plugin 3/5 because I like the idea and don’t want to put people off, and because it does no harm. Hopefully it can be improved to work more broadly.
