Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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 does exactly what it promises inside the ACF interface, with asks for font-weight support in the Google Fonts call and clearer setup instructions for the Font API key.

    Great but font-weight changes are not taken into account in google fonts call…

    Works very well. However, on the Font API settings page, you could add some instruction to get the key.

    Had a specific requirement to select a custom font on a single page template, and this plugged into the existing ACF interface on the page. Worked well. Probably ought to be a standard ACF field.
