  • Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

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.

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.

    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!
