Biggest opportunity: One page off on “sqlite”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 9.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,104 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 2 releases 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| botblock your tag | #1 | #1 | — |
| sqlite your tag | #13 | #12 | down 1 |
| apc | #20 | #13 | 0 |
| db cache | #20 | #21 | down 2 |
| cache your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| rest your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| security your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “sqlite”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “cache”, “rest” and “security” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

After having problems with AVADA theme and Flyingpress and WProcket, on rocket.net server that use cloudflare natively I give a try to Yasakani cache plugin. I hope it can works with cloudflare natively . Interested in something different and still easy to set up. Actually my Avada seems to have no problem at all with it. Not yet sure if cache is working, as Gtmetrix has same 100-99 score with or without it. It could be interesting if the plugin could improve managing minification in java and css and create a separate cache for mobile

You can easily add page cache, speed optimization, security, and access analysis functions to WordPress. The page cache uses a single sqlite file and the server does not have a lot of cache files scattered around. In addition, there is a “CSS Tree Shaking” function that adds a defer to the specified Javascript and applies only the CSS you are using inline. As far as I know, the “CSS Tree Shakeking” feature is unique to other optimization plugins and is great for sites with low bounce rates. In addition to the security function that automatically blocks suspicious access and annoying bots, there is also a simple access analysis function that can list frequently viewed articles. In addition, the plugin does not have excessive tracking or advertising, and keeps file size and load low. And the developers are friendly and honest. thank you!

Simpler but faster or equal to other cache plugins. Especially on slow servers.

It’s good for cheap and low performace host / shared hosting server :). Definitely better than W3TC. Many thanks to the developer!
