JCH Optimize

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 · 18% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I was used to speed up websites in Joomla using this plugin. Also improving on Google Page speed test the performance from poor 20 to over 90 points when using bad templates. I’ve tested some other solutions in WP and none is good and “all in one” like JCH. Please keep on support and developing one of the best and useful tool for the regular everyday normal fuxxwebsites!

   I bought the lifetime pro version. I don’t think I’ll use another cache plugin because most made my sight crash. This one does not. And it’s fast.

   Absolutely awesome sped up the site drastically, well worth the effort! I use Beaver Builder for all sites This plugin took my slow site to faster than a Wp Rocket site that I also have. I could not be happier. I will be looking at getting a developer license for it as I can clearly see this solving all me site speed issues!
