Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

No change to chart. WordPress.org reports active installs in coarse bands, so neither plugin crossed a band during this window. The download trend below moves daily and is the better read over a period this short.

Release activity

Custom PHP SettingsRedirection

7-day average daily downloads. Downloads spike for about a week after each release as the install base re-downloads, so read this as release cadence, not growth.
