Speed Up – Translation Cache

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   We run a heavy WooCommerce store. Through the Xdebug profiler I found out that loading the translation files takes up quite some time each request (we also use NGINX caching, but only when users aren’t logged in and only for specific pages). This plugin is perfect! It’s simple, open source, but definitely made it faster.

   I’m a developer working on some customizations for a customer, and my development environment is a vagrant virtual machine and php configured with xdebug to allow remote debugging. As other developers may know, remote debugging is a feature that slows down the php performance a lot, and a slow WordPress site, is 100 times slower. The thing was so bad that I spent some time profiling the execution of the WordPress site and saw that there was a good amount of time spent in functions called translations or in tasks related to translations. I installed this plugin (by the way, the only one that does this job), and performed some additional tests, and the performance of the site improved a lot. I don’t know why this site in particular is spending so much time with translation-related functions (other sites that I have don’t have this problem), but this plugin did a good job for me. Thanks
