Quicklink for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

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 · 90% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 9 months ago and the previous band took 3.9 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 2K.

   This plugin is flawless. Only added it on a couple of sites, but my PageSpeed Insights scores are still the same. The plugin is written by reputable coders who know what they are doing. Definitely worth adding, because prefetching page links is all the rage. That’s why the Jamstack websites such as Gatsby are so quick to navigate. If you want your WordPress to be as fast then this is the type of plugin you should be adding, once you’ve done the basics like W3 Total Cache, Smush and the rest…

   I use this plugin in combination with WP Rocket and lazyloading. It works perfectly together, no issues or what so ever. But I’m not sure if this plugin is supported by all browsers. It works smoothly on Chrome, but on Firefox I don’t seem to notice a difference. Got to test it with other browsers. But overall, good plugin. Recommended.

   I was advised by SemRush to use this plugin I thought id try it on an already optimized website. pagespeed went from 1.2sec to 14secs Like WTF, GTmetrix went from 100google 96 yslow to 88google and 76 yslow. Really this pluging is not good and if you are thinking of using this you should check scores before and after activation. For me tho this caused 14sec page load and increased 140kb in page size. Devs if you would like to contact me then feel free. seodevs.com I will welcome you to check the cause so you can improve the Plugin. This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by maltonge.

   Such a great plugin! Literally it will make your website seem like the fastest thing out there to the end user. It comes with a price, of course, you’ll end up with a lot of “pages visited” in your webserver logs that the client didn’t really visit, they were just preloaded in case the user clicked. But overall it makes your website seem like it’s the fastest thing out there, clicking on other links etc on the page and they load straight away (tested for me with Chrome) This is really a great add-on, along with a wp-cache plugin you’ll have the fastest site out there by miles.
