Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records CacheWing version 1.0.4 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
CacheWing is a fast, no-bloat WordPress performance plugin built to improve page speed and Core Web Vitals scores without the complexity of a full-featured caching suite. It does five things, and does them well:
Full-Page Caching — serves static HTML snapshots to logged-out visitors so PHP and the database are skipped entirely on repeat requests.
CSS Minification — automatically minifies first-party stylesheets and serves the minified version from a local cache.
JavaScript Deferral — defers non-critical scripts so the browser can paint the page before running them, with an exclude list for scripts that must load immediately.
Font Optimization — loads Google Fonts asynchronously so web fonts never block the initial render.
Lazy Loading — adds native lazy-loading to images and iframes below the fold, while protecting your Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) image from being delayed.
Built for site owners and developers who want a fast, transparent, single-purpose caching plugin — not a 40-tab settings panel.
Why CacheWing
Most all-in-one caching plugins bundle features you’ll never use and settings that are hard to reason about. CacheWing focuses only on the optimizations that move Google PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals scores, with sane defaults that work out of the box.
