WP Performance

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Great speed, beautifully simple UI. Can do basic caching or even more advanced caching. Most of all, it worked well for my use. I’m typically a LiteSpeed Cache and Swift user…but really enjoyed this one. Thanks for such a great free cache plugin.

   I want to say that it worked but my site still feel the same and I’ve activated the essentials so I don’t know what to say. If I can get a reply back from the developer, that’ll be nice. It says CSS not found and Javascript not found. This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by Stephanie.

   I’ve tried all caching and minifying plugins available on WordPress.org and CodeCanyon. WP-Performance is easily my favorite. Can’t recommend it enough.
