Afterpay Gateway for WooCommerce

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 · 92% 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.

   Won’t display in Firefox, tonnes of errors in browser console.

   Afterpay together with its Squarecdn javascripts slow my website for 12000 ms. That is full 12 seconds of time needed to load these scripts on the homepage. Why? Why does Afterpay need to load all those js on the homepage? I understand loading them at the Checkout or the Cart. At Homepage there would be enough just the Afterpay logo.So frustrating, as we pay a lot to get the homepage optimized for speed, and there comes Afterpay and ruins all the work.

   Just added Afterpay to my site. I had a few tech issues. Afterpay took over and resolved the issue quickly.

   The plugin is working ok but there’s this annoying little notification asking me to rate the plugin which just won’t go away even though I’ve been trying to click the close button.

   I’ve set this plugin for clients a few times and it is very straight forward. Just annoying to go on settings and re-saving them again to make the update notice go away from the dashboard. A dismiss button would be handy 🙂
