Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 81% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I’ve been working on my own site instead of client work lately, and I am highly unreasonable. I add too many complex codes and plugins, and have made a ridiculous game out of my website. The Divi 4 WordPress pages and items in the builder and the library all stopped saving after edits, and the only way I could go back to my preferred level of insanity was to shut down unnecessary stuff on pages across the site. <3

   While it does have lots of options and can be intimidating it is just that powerful. If you know what you are doing this plugin can really speed your website up considerably.
