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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

This is a wonderful solution for developing custom themes. Sometimes we implement sticky navigation menu and the WP admin bar gets in the way. This is a better solution than the “Bottom Admin Bar” plugin because it allows it to be on top or bottom.

My new favorite plugin to be installed on ALL my sites. You can put the Admin Bar (Frontend) on top or bottom, simply by holding the (Shift) key and hitting the “Up” or “Down” arrows.

I’ve been using a toggle which still was problematic for some website designs. This plugin solves the problem. The admin bar is a nuisance when building a website and this is the right tool to make it go away!
