Clarity – Ad blocker for WordPress

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 · 71% 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.

   I wonder why this plugin is not more popular?!

   This plugin is a “gift from God” and in this case, Stanislav is “God”. I’m joking – Congratulations and thank you for your effort! I hope Stanislav won’t add a “Pro” option 😉 and I hope the nag-list will be updated in the coming years.

   When I had yet another plugin promoting their premium plugin in the admin dashboard, I was frustrated. Glad to learn about the Clarity – Ad Blocker plugin from Daniel Schutzsmith’s TinyPress newsletter earlier this month. I installed Clarity this week, it works well to remove those annoying ads.

   Constant upsells and nags to review the plugins are getting out of hand in WP ecosystem. So glad this plugin exists!
