Auto Update Post Date

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 · 49% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 3K+ in roughly 184 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.

   As simple as this plugin may appear, it provides an incredible amount of value. We have numerous pages that do not require frequent updates. Nevertheless, it remains essential to keep the pages current with the date of the last modification. This process is now conducted automatically. Thank you for this; please continue to maintain the functionality of this plugin!Greetings 🙂

   A great plugin – we have pages that update internally but that process doesn’t change the modified date. This fixes that.
