AFS Analytics

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.

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

12 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 11 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 600.

   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.
