2.2%

of downloads still active

At least 200 of 9.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Removal-risk signals

53/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

Search visibility

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
admin cache your tag	Not checked yet
admin performance your tag	Not checked yet
admin speed your tag	Not checked yet
slow admin your tag	Not checked yet
woocommerce performance your tag	Not checked yet

This WordPress Plugin works flawless. It is not being updated any more as far as I was able to read on their website. But it still works. Sometimes it is showing cached content while it is not really needed.So I made some adjustments for my own WordPress Blogs. It is really a ‘must’ have plugin.Many thanks for all the efforts creating it and hopefully you all will enjoy your day!

this is a must have plugin. It is like a miracle. My WP backend became so fast. Everyone should try this. It would be awesome if the developer can continue to update, although everything works fine for now.

Hello. This plugin is great. At the end of the time we set in the plugin, it looks like we have to open the page once to create the cache again. If the cache is created automatically and continuously, we will not encounter a slow screen even once. Please develop the plugin to include all parts of WordPress including settings and plugin pages.

Certainly speeds up WP Admin. I got my admin load speed down to approx 2 seconds per page load. This plugin reduces it to virtually nothing. Thanks!
