Content Anchor Links

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.

   Principle: This plugin consists of two parts: 1) Automatic anchor creation for H2 and H3 when saving a page. a) “My Headline” gets anchor #my-headline. b) You can still manually change it to #my-head-line. c) Warning: Not Gutenberg compatible! 2) Linker. When using “Insert Link” in the editor the search dialog does not only match in the page titles/slugs but also in anchor-names. And creates a /page-slug#anchor-name link for you. a) Most likely also not Gutenberg compatible. Read the plugin description and plugin support for updates, maybe the developer will add Gutenberg compatibility or maybe at least on one of the two sides for starters.

   Very easy to use. Automatically sets IDs to H2 and H3. When adding links to anchors they appear when you start to type them! 5/5

   The plugin nserts #id into h2/h3 on save, and make the headings available via core link search UI. Clever!
