BugSnag Error Monitoring plugin

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 · 56% 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.

   Been using it now for several years and it helped me often quickly finding (hidden) issues across a multitude of pages and functionality.

   This plugin used to be one of the best tools out there, however, it seems like is not being maintained anymore. There is no support for the recent releases of PHP (8.0, 8.1). Recent support requests are not being handled anymore as well.

   The plugin is easy to set up; all errors can be monitored via the Bugsnag dashboard. You can also set different log levels and differ between the environments (dev/production) of your website. Bonus: There are lots of cool integrations like Slack (Push Notifications), GitHub (New Issues) and much more!

   I have installed the plugin on about 40 sites today so far, and it installed successfully on all of them and has logged errors on many of them already. The integration has been seamless. The one aspect which has not been quite seamless is that, after installing the plugin, trying to enable it from the confirmation screen often gives me a 500 error in Pantheon (our hosting provider). I then have to go to the main Plugins page and enable it there, where it works 100% of the time.

   This is a commercial plugin and only works for free for 14 days on a free trial, then you must pay for API access.
