Biggest opportunity: Add “object” and “html cache” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4 and #21 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →6.2%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 81.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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 4 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.

It works where other object cachers break the site in combination with other drop-ins, like Siteground Speed Optimizer memcached option.

It litters the cache/object folder with hundreds of thousands of files. It does not clean outdated ones and the size of the folder and files grows exponentially.

When multiple WP installations are on the same server the “key” used appears to be generated by blog_id, which is the same across them all. On a multisite installation it may work, but not separate standalone sites. There should be a unique key generated based on the domain rather This topic was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by sean10234.

This plugin is sorely needed and has lots of potential. I like how it doesn’t try to do more than it needs to regarding features. Unfortunately, updates do not come frequently enough to be in our main production sites. Somebody give this guy some resources!

If the server does not have a memcache function, then the disk cache function is used, which fills up the server hard disk within a few days and thus drastically slows down the website. It seems that the function to delete disk cache files is missing.
