Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Release cadence

Occasionally updated
from wp.org release tags

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Does what it says and helps identify auto loaded options and their size. Handy for clearing and diagnosing the database. Thank you. 🙂

    Plugin does exactly what you describe. I found everything I needed to know to delete in tables. Useless stuff from plugins that didn’t even exist anymore was there. Thanks for the great work!

    It says you can see autoload data and sizes, but the only options are “Deactivate” and “Troubleshoot” Troubleshoot just puts the current user in debug mode so my only other option is “Deactivate” I’ll just have to use mysql/phpadmin to look at it This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by w2vy.
