BH Custom CSS3 Preloader – Just play and play

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 · 20% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   The free plugin worked so well that I bought the Pro plugin.Unfortunately, after activating it, the site broke down. Error 500. After trying to install the Pro plugin together with the free plugin, then without the free plugin, and even on a test site where the Pro plugin was installed for the first time, I had to restore a backup every single time and wasted about 3 hours of my life.The support responded quickly, but wanted admin access to my site and when I didn’t grant it, they refused a refund and weren’t very friendly either.I won’t open a PayPal dispute for that small amount of money, but I definitely cannot recommend buying this plugin. The only question was whether to give 1 or 2 stars, because the free plugin does work.

   I purchased this plugin, then loaded it in a DIVI site. The free plugin worked but the paid did not. I sent a support request but never heard back.

   I purchased the pro version of this plug-in for $5 and it is so worth it! Excellent support – I emailed the author asking how to change a setting (the length of time for the custom image preloader to fade) and he rewrote the option in to the plug-in for me. Thank you so much!
