AFS Analytics

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 · 74% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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 like the real-time dashboard and the depth of the metrics, but several say the free tier pushes you into an expensive paid plan, and a couple hit login and reconnection trouble after moving hosts.

   I tried a lot of different Analytics and I would say this is very good : relevant, clear, precise. Very nice interface including with the WP plugin. The prices are a little high compared to the competition. Especially if you have several sites to manage (more than 650 euros by month for basic sylver plan for 4 websites..). It’s very expensive for a blogger and even more so for a professional on a tight budget. Certainly it is one of the most accurate and best on the market.

   I tried a lot of different Analytics and I would say this is good (free for few analytics). And looks great too but You have to register and pay (very expensive) for complete analytics.

   That is a must have plugin for every WordPress user. Great dashboard in real-time. A good advice: link your Google search console account and their algorithm will recover all the “not provided” keywords from the search engines! Highly recommended!

   It’s a nightmare to recover your lost password and after moving my site to another server it constantly keeps disconnecting. Got tired logging in every time and have switched to old good WP Statistics which does the same, just hassle free.
