Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

i am not saying this plugin is not doing its job, but for it does not work well on my site. some javascripts do not function well anymore and I have no possibility to deselect them. i wish there would be a plugin that could just solve that and combine js and css in an intelligent way.
