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 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.

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.

266 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 226 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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.

Crossed into this band 5.9 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   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.
