Button

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 · 97% 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.

   Horrible plugin. If I could give minus stars I would’ve given that. After adding the shortcode to my site, this message showed, “There has been a critical error on this website.”

   I’m using the free version and really – it has many flexible features such as color changes and size changes, even in the free version. The paid version would give you more of course, but I’m happy with this button.

   Could do with grouping the normal and hover settings into two separate sections but the plugin did exactly what i was after.
