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.

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    phenomenal plugin to debloat cf7. also, the developer is opened to support more plugins, which is a plus! This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by heredatedwp.

    Good plugin, works as expected. Chris, it would be awesome if there is an option to unload Google reCAPTCHA v3 JS as well — the CF7 loads it on all pages. Thank you for the plugin.
