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.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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.

Pretty much zero functionality in the free version and $90/year is too steep for my personal websites.

Excellent plugin thank you ! 🙂

Only the pro version has detailed profiling per PHP script file, so this functionality exists, but you can’t be bothered to at least show the correct per plugin timings in the free version – but instead say “well, some of your plugins use composer, so this means nothing, good luck“.

The graph which actually shows the info that you need is only available on the Pro version. Waste of time.

Useless – presents unreliable data which leads to false positives, huge problem with measuring plugins using composer, gives completely wrong impression of what is really going on – total waste of time.

Genau so ein Plugin habe ich schon lange gesucht. Damit erhält man eine sehr gute Übersicht, welche Plugins und Themes die Ladezeit einer Webseite auf einer bestimmten Seite verzögern.

Dość skutecznie pomaga w identyfikacji problematycznych wtyczek. Skraca czas niezbędny na analizę przyczyn wolniejszego działania serwisu.
