Biggest opportunity: “core web vitals”, “css” and “javascript” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 13.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 is a beast. It serves the functions of many plugins single-handedly even then it’s highly lightweight. It improved my website score in all popular web speed tests. It works flawlessly with WP Fastest Cache. Earlier I wanted to use Flying Scripts but as it was not working with WPFC so I had to ditch it. Fortunately, I found this plugin and I’m more than happy now. Just use this plugin with a good caching plugin and forget every woe. Kudos to the plugin author… Highly recommend!

    I can’t believe this plugin is Free! Because it offers all the features for page speed optimization. If you utilize this plugin properly, your site will be very fast without breaking your site design. Highly recommended!

    Nice plugin ! It ticks (almost) all the boxes in my case working well together with WP-Optimize – there is an easy/logical UI which allows preload/exclude/etc. various assets (js/css/fonts) as needed on various pages as well as extra useful bits (passive listeners, etc.). The combo “WP-Optimize” + “Optimize More!” has replaced a few other (heavier) plugins achieving the same or better PageSpeed results, thanks for providing this tool ! N.B. If it’s not already there (I could not find it), it would be nice to have an option to load assets on an individual (relevant) page as opposed to excluding on multiple (non-relevant) pages.

    I saw a review saying it worked with WP Fastest Cache because FlyingScripts wasn’t working anymore and this plugin is very good, made a combo with Elementor+ WPFastest cache + Optimize More + some onpage optimizations and got 98+ Google page Speed Score with 3 of my websites. As a feedback the Delay JS works very well with the function you show in the panel, to make it better for normal users that don’t know how to do that could add the delay time in a simple way to the panel. Keep with the good work this plugin is very impressive.
