Biggest opportunity: Swap “cache”, “caching” and “fast” for “server”, “servers” and “clear cache”. “cache” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “server” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “caching” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “servers” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “fast” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “clear cache” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →13%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 75K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,105 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 1 release 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.

I have my website on SureSupport and this works perfect. Having the button always at the top of the WordPress dashboard is very helpful. Thanks.

very easy to use, I use it repeatedly to clean the website.

It’s good to see that this plugin has started to work again. But still I would recommend deprecating support for up to php 7.3 since WordPress recommends php 7.4 or higher. Not sure why developer is sticking with support for php 5.4 when the core itself doesn’t support. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by Skrlance.

Apparently, Godaddy’s Managed WordPress Hosting is not currently clearing cache when you choose their “flush cache” option. I was hoping this plugin would do the trick but unfortunately not.
