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.

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.

    I have been looking for such a widget for some time, and found it today. It is working with wp 5.5. Thank you for the plugin.

    Hi, I see that this plugin is no longer followed by its developer for a long time, to delete?

    If you have certain browser extensions (like Grammerly) it will not work. Somehow the enable crashes or delays too long with them. This topic was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by tommyg73.

    Its currently not compatible with WooCommerce and a post that was made a month ago by someone regarding this was completely ignored. Seems the developer doesn’t care about compatibility.
