Biggest opportunity: Add “mega” to your wp.org tags. You rank #18 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 4.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,153 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 50.

Great caching plugin. It is very light and it just does its work. I am using it with Apcu for object cache and file for cache storage and it is amazingly fast! My VPS is thanking you!

Hey Chris, when setting a potentially faulty redis config, the plugin breaks PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function setOption() on null in pathtowordpress/plugins/mega-cache/includes/atec-wpmc-connect-redis.php:30 Here’s the problematic line: if (($rdSettings['serializer']??0)!==0) @$atec_wpmc_source['redis']->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, $rdSettings['serializer']); A Redis option (Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER) is only set if the 'serializer' key exists and isn’t 0 in$rdSettings, but if the Redis connection doesn’t succeed due to a bad config, then$atec_wpmc_source['redis'] will be set to null within that catch block, so the plugin should only set the option if the Redis connection was successful, like if $atec_wpmc_source['redis'] isnt null

This plugin does exactly what it promises. It speeds up WordPress. Support is quick and really good.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ docjojo1.9y ago
This is the fastest Page Cache Plugin out there. It supports 8 storage options but is still a lightweight plugin.Configuration is simple: Choose a storage option and turn on the page cache – that’s it.Memcached and Redis are very popular but APCu is the fastest cache option supported by this plugin.A great feature is the integrated statistics to compare the performance and savings.
