Better Random Redirect

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   It is not working with randomizing pages. It keeps directing to a specific page rather than a number of pages in that category, and there is no support from the author for more than a year.

   If your information-packed website has a lot of pages (maybe 100+) it’s a good idea to offer visitors the opportunity to move around the site at random. And this plugin is an excellent way to facilitate that. I’ve been using it for a few years now and it’s always worked perfectly.

   I was looking for a plugin that will re-direct members to a special offer upon logging in, and this does it, thank you!

   If you have a site with a ton of good content in the archives and want to add a Stumbleupon-like link to your header or sidebar, look no further. Unlike its competitors, this won’t suck down your CPU. I expect it will be added to Jetpack at some point, but until then, this stand-alone plugin is your best option. The author keeps it updated, too.
