Countdown, Coming Soon, Maintenance – Countdown & Clock

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 · 69% 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.

   Super Plugin … lange gesucht – endlich gefunden. Übringens das einzige, dass ich bisher gefunden habe, dass einwandfrei als countup funktioniert. Countup seit 1984.

   The plugin is great, and doesn’t catfish you into downloading. You can literally use the timer types that it sets. Love it

   Es muy fácil de utilizar. En su versión gratuita cuenta con las suficientes opciones para poder emplearla y adaptarla al sitio. Lo recomiendo si necesitas una cuenta atrás simple y funcional. Un detalle en sus funciones es que cuando la cuenta llega a cero te permite decidir en base a distintas opciones como proceder.

   The Plugin has false advertising, it can only add Countdowns – not any clocks.
