Better Google Analytics

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 · 88% 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.

   The plugin is still doing a nice plain and simple job. The live view of visitors is the reason our customers like this plugin. Thanks.

   Hello, Its a very good plugin, i’m using it for almost a year now. But it starts to look old especially the report view for Charts, Events… Are you planning to update the plugin soon? Thanks

   I installed this mostly for the split testing capability. I can’t imagine who is going to get any use out of this plugin when it has no option to split test content. You can only create variations on Title, theme and CSS. If you want to change anything else about your pages like the verbiage in a given paragraph then you’re out of luck. One workaround (I guess) is that you can change the content of tags using CSS, but really, who wants to do that?
