Astra Widgets

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 · 100% 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.

   Astra used to be number one but someone thought messing with it was a good idea. They’ve added a lot but it is too much, over the top, and many functions are difficult to located. I had such a hard time on a client’s website today. 10 hours at the computer creating one simple 7 page website with woocommerse. I am still not finished. Widgets keep disappearing 5 minutes after showing perfectly. I hate this. Booooo Astra

   A versão free é bem limitada, mas dá pra fazer algumas mudanças pontuais

   I followed the installation guide provided by the plugin and the plugin was not active on my site. Due to this I would not recommend using this plug in.
