How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Protoze se nektere stranky nacitaly klidne 4s prestoze staticke cachovani bylo zapnute, tak jsem plugin deaktivoval. Bezel tam web s nizkym poctem obrazku, slusne nakodovany ve zkompilovanem tailwindu, bez elementoru a podobnych ***, nijak vysoky pocet statickych souboru. Po vypnuti pluginu jsem nastavil WP fastest cache a paradoxne se nacita rychleji nez s wedos CDN. Co tam bylo za problem netusim, dam tomu sanci jeste za rok za dva. Nicmene chybi nejaky tarif kde bych si mohl nastavit vice lokalit, protoze momentalne prichazi v uvahu 300,- bez dph / mesic (pouze nektere lokality, prakticky zadne vlastni nastaveni) a 2000,- bez dph / mesic (??). Za dva litry mesicne uz muzu mit vlastni cloudfront s offloadem statickych souboru do s3, a to mi jeste celkem dost zustane (a to do te ceny nejspis dostanu i nejakou WAF bot control).

    When it comes to speeding up the page, it may help, but I’ve found it can also cause two issues: For some reason, it blocks the “admin_notices” hook in the admin area, which can disrupt the proper functioning of other plugins. You need to update your SPF DNS record to comply with DMARC requirements (as explained on the Wedos help page titled “Emails – SPF Record”). Suggestions: The plugin function init_notices() should be removed—why is it even there? 🙂 The plugin should notify users about the potential need to update the SPF record.

    Wow! The activation was really two clicks for the free local cache. The performance has grown from 73 to 99-100 (according to PageSpeed Insights).
