Biggest opportunity: “cache”, “core web vitals” and “pagespeed” 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 80 of 487.5K 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.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| webperf your tag | #2 | #1 | 0 |
| cache your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| core web vitals your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| pagespeed your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| vitals your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Crashes the website time to time. Support is very bad from the plugin team. Used this plugin with Nestify server. Horrible caching issues. Improved core web vitals, but broke many functionalities of the website that used Javascript like preloading animations, multi step forms, dynamic javascript codes etc This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by szn0007.

I’m stuck when I tried to deactivate your plugin and is pretty much annoying when I see this message….There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. Well done, here is 1 star

This plugin appears to work flawlessly. It increased the site’s score up by a couple points. It’s a good substitute for NitroPack. The best plugin to optimise page speed instantly.

We host quite a few high traffic sites, and have performance optimization measures in place. Speedien is the only plugin that complemented our server side performance layers and helped improve core web vitals on our sites. Each site scored in the high 90s for desktop and mobile speed test after speedien optimized it.
