AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Fast Backend is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Fast Backend works
Do you think the WordPress backend is too slow? Good news, this plugin will improve the speed of your WordPress Admin backend by some efficient tweaks.
Native Lazy Loading of Images in the backend
Reduced WordPress Heartbeat
Less autosaving of posts
Loading of plugin stylesheets in the footer
“Fast Backend” will only have affects to the Admin area of WordPress and won’t have any impact on your theme.
Native Lazy Loading of Images The plugin adds loading=”lazy” attributes to images if missing to take advantage of native lazy loading.
Reduced WordPress Heartbeat Usually the WordPress heartbeat is every 15 seconds. The plugin extends the time period to 45 seconds.
Autosaving every 2 minutes Instead of autosaving posts every 60 seconds, we’ll do this only every 120 seconds.
Loading of plugin stylesheets in the footer The plugin moves plugin stylesheets to the bottom of the page to prevent them to block rendering.
