404 Redirection

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

Reviewers say it just works with no setup to speak of, fixing 404s after domain moves and on WooCommerce sites, with one mention of a conflict with another plugin.

   Works perfectly, as expected. I moved the site to another domain and decided not to copy some pages – error 404 appeared. The solution is simple and simple installation. I will slightly correct my comment. The first time I applied this plug-in was the version of WP 4.4, I recently tried another version of WP – 4.7.2. – The plugin works exceptionally well.
