Comfort Email SMTP, Logger & Email Api

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 · 55% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 40+ in roughly 383 days.

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.

   In most of my sites i used to use 2 differtent free plugins for smtp and log sent mails. When i found CBX Email SMTP & Logger i gave it a try and it WORKS PERFECT, now with just 1 light well coded plugin i can send emails and have the logs of sent email. I recommend it 100% Also great support!
