Event Countdown for The Events Calendar

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. 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.

   Very easy to use, makes a lot of sense.But it seems to be very rigid (but I’m a non-developer, who knows maybe a code monkey can do more with it). There seems to be an option for language translation, but I can’t access the “Find Out More” button. On a Spanish website, I can’t go with that. 4 stars for what it is, 5 stars if it could get what I want.
