Auto Featured Image from Title

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 87% 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.

   Tried other plugins for this sort of functionality, but this is by far the best one, and in fact, the only one that does everything I wanted and more. That being said, the free version is pretty limited, so will be buying PRO or Premium.

   a 750×500 size image reaches 500k, which is unreasonable, it could be better if you control the image size.

   I just want to know where you get the images that is set on a post based on the title? Are they free images from the internet?
