WP Simple Thimble

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   It did indeed make my GT Metrix scores much higher; but at a cost. It adds Base64 code to your CSS and probably other places too. I have only found it in my CSS thus far. It also broke my styles, removed icons, caused other style-related issues… Wow! What a price to pay. I’ll keep my B rating with GT Metrix, if this is the cost of an A rating. No thanks!!!! Plugin sucks!!!!!!

   I just installed this plugin and got more than a 20% improvement in my GTMetrix scores – Awesome! However I’m experiencing the same issue as ‘tiashanee’. Wp admin icons are all missing and a few other icons on the front end of my site have stopped displaying as well. Would be great if you could sort out that bug. Also on Google Page Speed Insights I’m now getting the following error “An error occurred while fetching or analyzing the page.”

   Hello I’m new to wordpress. The plugin really helped my gtmetrix and yslow scores drastically however, when activated google speed insights sends back an error and states “An error occurred while fetching or analyzing the page.” and this goes away when plugin is deactivated. Also icons in my backend for plugins such as jet pack, woocommerce, products disappear and become little box outlines. On my frontend my search and cart icons are either box outlines as well or my search icon changes into a pair of red lips and the cart turns into a hammer on the mobile device display. Im sure that the plugin is not suppose to do this. It makes the site look broken from a customer stand point. Please advise.
