Cleanup Duplicate Meta

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 · 100% 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 had over a million duplicate post meta entries from Avada (Theme Fusion). It shrinked my wp_postmeta table to 1/10 of the original size. Thank you and please update your plugin.

   This plugin helped me remove 31195 Duplicate records in the wp_postmeta database table. Most were ACF fields, i don’t know why they are there but some posts had up to 8 times the same field… It also helped me find old meta by old plugins i don’t even remember using so i was able to delete all of those (the originals too) with phpmyadmin. It shaved 10 MB of wp_postmeta!
