WP Spider Cache

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 · 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.

   When Memcache module is not loaded with PHP I get a fatal error instead of an explaination. I use PHP 7.1 and my host doesn’t offer Memcache, only Memcached. Also files must be copied manually to wp-content.

   This plugin has no settings. Zero. It Just Works. Running it on my eCommerce website and not a single problem. Faster admin, just as fast front-end as running W3 Total Cache, and I don’t need to tweak settings. Thanks @jjj!
