Release cadence

Occasionally updated

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    This site is the easiest plug-in to install and setup. You can delete all comments instantly and disable to comments section for individual posts/pages or all of them. It is very common to receive unsolicited comments, spam of course. This stops them cold. I highly recommend

    The rare times when a plugin provides a functionality that should be in the core of WordPress itself. Excellent work on this plugin as it does exactly what it says.
