How it's measured →4.5%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 8.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,107 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| optimization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| speed your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user experience your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ux your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 100% 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 “400+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 52 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 500.

It is a super idea!

A good solution for blogs and general websites! But in the case of large/mega-menu’s the plugin simply preloads too many links which leads to many unneeded requests that slow down the process. A good solution would be to filter specific links with specific classes to clear out the many unneeded requests.

It’s lightweight, involves no setup and produces instant results. My clients are happy, I’m happy. After testing it for a while on two of my personal sites, I bulked installed it on all of my sites. It’s now one of my MU plugins for a WordPress site. Amazing work Ben!
