How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   A plugin that you must install. I can’t build a site without installing this plugin. I hope it gets updated regularly and supports newer versions of WordPress. I love you Albert Peschar.

   This plugin is awesome. Solved my problem of css version in a flash. It should be by default in wordpress installation.

   This logic of adding a hash based on last edited date is pure genius and keeps our clients from seeing broken sites.

   Amazing that it only has 100+ installs. Life was so much harder when I had to tell clients to clear their browser cache all the time, and users had a bad experience until their browser cache was refreshed. This plugin completely removes those hassles. Thanks a lot.

   This plugin has been amazing. Gone are the days where I have to tell the client “if something doesn’t look right then try refreshing the page, clearing the cache or using an incognito tab”.
