AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Simple Site Speed is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Performance category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 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 Simple Site Speed works
This is a WordPress plugin that adds advanced load timing to each page. Know exactly what is causing slow (or fast) page loading on every page. It’s like doing a lightweight and fast speed test on every page! It does not require any settings and is displayed at the bottom-left of the page. The overall load time is shown initially, and when clicked, the advanced load times appear.
The processes being timed are:
Redirection (and quantity)
App Cache
DNS Lookup
TCP Connection
Server Request
Server Response
DOM Processing
Page Load
This timing only display to site admins, and can also be triggered by adding “?debug” at the end of the URL. Considerably slow or fast times are dictated with coloring.
