Index WP MySQL For Speed

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 · 93% 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.

   You are a life saver! This plugin is truley speeding up my site, specially for logged-in users. If you only want to make things faster, I recommend using this plugin before installing any cache plugin.

   all in the tittle. Note that I have a lot of posts & metas.VERY GOOD. GUI is excellent on what it does, and how to revert. Tip for shared cPanel users: i could not add the key to post & meta tables because timeouts (other tables where long, but OK). And on my shared hosting, no CLI on cPanel … except if you go to Softaculous area that provides a CLI access in its menu –> less that 3 seconds to generates the 2 keys that would timeout otherwise !!!

   I’ve been using it on several WooCommerce websites, it helped a lot improving performance. The debug tab is a gold mine to understand mysql configuration issues.

   It’s a good plugin, but it interferes with the Woodmart template and gives a Server respond slow error (observed 1353 milliseconds) in the document request latency section of the pagespeed website.
