Admin Slug Column

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 · 49% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers keep saying it's simple and does exactly one job well, with the odd ask for sorting and filtering by URL path and one flag about the plugin going a long stretch without an update.

   This plugin is great – but hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Can you please provide an update so it won’t pose a security threat. Thank you.

   Great little product – thank you. Somehow I had the same name for a post and a page – and it was causing problems. this solved it. I would use it all the time if it handled multi-byte characters as a url is spread over 9 lines.
