Biggest opportunity: Add “speed optimization”, “lcp” and “website speed” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #6 and #6 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,101 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

My speed has improved! Thank you

I absolutely love that WP Meteor works with LiteSpeed Cache which already does a great job helping page speed. Most optimizer plugins either come into conflict with caching plugins or don’t create any perceivable differences when used with cache. I won’t judge them as this is a tricky art. WP Meteor however has created something truly wonderful that further accelerates page speed. I thoroughly tested different pages with different scenarios. When WP Meteor is disabled both my page load clock and my eyes notice a big difference. There was a minor PHP notice that I submitted a ticket for (on the WP support forum). Aleksandr graciously fixed it along with other recent optimizations. This plugin is well cared for and comes highly recommended. Thank you. 🙂

I’ve been working on improving the pagespeed performance for my site over the past few days. Pagespeed is always going to be a compromise. For Coder Sports we need to provide parents with information on our learn to code programs in a fun interactive format, including responsive mobile. After running the fantastic Jetpack boost along with redis and multiple efforts to optimize the homepage, I was expecting much from adding WP meteor – But wow was I wrong! This simple to install and run plugin added 10 – 20 points to our mobile pagespeed insights score on a consistent basis, granted it was a low bar, but still, very impressive. I found that the infinite delay for LCP worked fine for my site and provided the best “bang for the buck”.
