Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

This plugin adds the breadcrumb by selector (id or class) meaning you won’t need to create a child theme and manually input the code and can place the breadcrumbs anywhere. Very easy to use. Very flexible. Superior to the breadcrumb plugin I’ve been using.

Great lightweight plugin that won’t drag your page down.

I´m just a user. Needs one minute to install and set up breadcrumbs where ever you want. Including a shortcode to post it within pages or posts. The support is fast, friendly and good. 5 stars!

Among several breadcrumbs plugins which I tested, I prefer Catch Breadcrumb because it is very simple and understandable to use, even in its free version. Also, you can count on good support if you have certain problems or want to do some modifications.
