WP Redis

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 · 93% run the current release. 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.

   Great free Redis plugin which even does not need to be kept installed. Just install and copy object-cache.php to wp-content. Then add a wp-config setting (after installing redis on your server) and you are good to go. Check with WP health on dashboard. Thanks to the developers!

   Great plugin. I’m evaluating it now as a backend Redis cache. However, installation was not straightforward or clear. I wish it was automatic. However, the manual install requires copying a file manually. If you run multiple WordPress sites on a self-hosted install, you must also make sure to edit the object-cache.php file and add a cache salt key or you will get errors. Once these are resolved, it seems to be functioning well. 4 stars for the excellent plugin.-1 for the difficult installation. I wish it were more straightforward.

   It is working great!, How does this plugin differs with “Redis Object Cache” since you don’t offer premium subscription for the plugin? drop-in based, no need to activate the plugin, just follow the GIT Instruction. Currently on my staging environment for testing.

   If you have a specific environment then put aside a day, if you’re not comfortable with ssh then don’t do it.
