AlphaListing

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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 600+ in roughly 124 days.

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 are thanking the developer for reviving an abandoned plugin, and they say the switch was easy, the plugin is light, and support answers fast.

   Thank you very much for creating this fork – I loved Dani’s original but removed it after it was abandoned. Thanks again for all your efforts.

   I recently noticed that A-Z Listing appears to be abandoned, so I was happy to see that Ethan Lin had forked it. Transition to the new plugin could not have been easier, and so far it seems to work perfectly. This is my third A-Z plugin (I started with WP-Snap years ago, which was also abandoned and replaced by A-Z Listing). Thanks Ethan!

   Hello Ethan, I found your plugin today, and it seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve been using AZIndex for about 15 years, which is no longer being developed. I’m testing it now and will keep you updated… Thanks for your work. Update 29.10.2025: Hi Ethan, I’ve been testing your plugin for a while now and I’m thrilled. It’s easy to use and does exactly what it’s supposed to. Thanks! This topic was modified 12 months ago by rroeske. This topic was modified 8 months, 3 weeks ago by rroeske.
