Bitcoin Lightning Publisher for WordPress

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.

   Alby is wonderful for setting up easy paywalls or small sats payments functions for the website. I love the donation widget and how it connects easily to my wallet. It took seconds to install and only 2 minutes to get placed on the pages I need it on. Keep up the great work

   I have been waiting for such a paywall plugin for some time now. With bitcoin instant micropayments become possible. That makes so much sense for paywalls. I especially like the different paywall options. But it also comes with a donation widget. And the plugin allows me to choose the wallet that I want to connect to receive payments. It just works and no complaints from my readers. Great job.
