HyperPress | Hypermedia for WordPress (HTMX or Datastar)

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 20+ in roughly 636 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.

   A great way to add modern hypermedia capabilities to WordPress sites. It works seamlessly with HTMX, Datastar, and Alpine AJAX, so if you are interested in these technologies this a great bridge. The API is well-designed and easy to use. Helper functions make building reactive interfaces straightforward. The plugin integrates naturally with WordPress. What really stands out is the extensibility – the action hooks and filters allow for easy customization without touching core files. The maintainer is responsive on GitHub and quickly responds to issues and merges useful contributions. Thanks Esteban!
