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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Phast proxies external scripts to extend their cache lifetime.
Phast inlines critical CSS automatically by comparing the rules in your stylesheets with the elements on your page.
Phast loads non-critical CSS asynchronously and in a single request.
