Biggest opportunity: Swap “cache”, “cloudflare” and “page cache” for “fastcgi”, “edge” and “object”. “cache” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fastcgi” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cloudflare” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “edge” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page cache” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “object” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →247%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 1.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,099 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.
