Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare 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.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “6K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.
How we estimate this
Assumptions
- Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
- Annual price per customer. $49–$129 a year, typical for Performance plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
- Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
- Install base. 6K–7K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

Since the introduction of AI support, nothing works anymore. I’ll probably have to switch to an alternative where they actively take care of their customers. What a shame…

Unfortunately, the support has become very neglectful. Either they rarely respond or they haven’t gotten back for weeks. Very disappointing!

This is an incredible plugin. I am not sure why nobody talks about this. I found it accidentally. Give it a try. It is a WPRocket alternative.

The plugin has landlines in it. There was a particular setting about loopback which I flipped on and the site went down!! It is going into infinite redirects. This page isn’t workingenthu.com redirected you too many times.ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS Not heard from support yet, its been 10+ hours now. This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by tispratik.

My site went from C to A on GT Metrix! The endless number of features in a free plugin is not very common; I fell in love with Swift. <3
