CloudSearch

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.

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

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 works really well and makes integrating Amazon CloudSearch with your WordPress site totally seamless. The documentation is comprehensive and helpful. The support threads have lots of useful information, as well. Andrea (the developer of this plugin) is very responsive to questions and even helped me fix an issue with my search results page with Divi. All around A+++ and highly recommend!

   This plugin works great and saved me a huge amount of time. The developer is also responsive and was quick to make improvements when I discovered an issue with the implementation.

   If you use WordPress and are hosted on Amazon and need the best search functionality there is, look no further than this plugin. It rocks. I have tried it all, the internal WordPress search (which is a joke for a serious blog), Relevanssi (great but still uses a lot of resources) and ended up with this plugin. It is easy to configure and uses the power of Amazon to present quick search results to the visitor. Keep on rockin’ Andrea. And thanks for implementing our ideas/requests for search suggestions and your quick replies on our questions.
