Biggest opportunity: Swap “cache” and “caching” for “super cache” and “clear cache”. “cache” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “super cache” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “caching” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “clear cache” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 6K of 286.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 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 1 release 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.

Works like a charm. Saves a lot of time clearing the cache after you made changes to your site. You have to just activate it and it works. Using it on WordPress 4.9.7 Works great.

is there anyway to only clear Homepage,Categories,tags and Current post when i update a post?

Complete waste of time. Followed all the instructions twice and nothing shows up! Don’t bother – does not work!

Simply doesn’t work.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ jagbuilt10.2y ago
I have installed it , activated it, not in admin menu… uninstalled it deleted the files, reinstalled it, doesn’t show up anywhere. I tried it a third time, logged out, cleared my workstations cache even, logged back in… Nothing. Not working with wp 4.5.3 and Photocrati v5 theme with nextgen gallery pro. It is simply nowhere to be found. Must move on to a different plug in.
