Amazon Web Services

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 · 96% 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.

Reviewers like how it quietly handles S3 offloading and say the team fixes bugs fast, but setup takes tweaking, some installs throw errors, and it doesn't help sites with existing images or EDD download links.

   Installed on an established site. And it’s useless. If you have an established site, buy that other plugin they are advertising. This one is useless for old images.

   Takes a bit of tweaking, but all around does what it advertises.

   This plugin is great for connecting to your AWS account for other services to use it. Some usability issues could be better, some errors on install and activate with certain versions, but if you’re up to date it should work great.

   I am very impressed with this plugin, and I am using only the free version along with its companion WP Offload S3. I like how they are transparent – you don’t even realize it is there and behaves as if you were saving everything locally. There have been a few bugs here and there, but the team addresses them quickly.
