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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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.

This plugin has created significant issues on my website by causing infinite redirect loops with my translation setup (Falang). The plugin has not been updated in 3 years (last update in 2021) and appears to be abandoned. Major issues: – Creates redirect loops with translated URLs (/de/ pages) – Conflicts with modern translation plugins– No compatibility with common SEO plugins like Rank Math – No updates for 3+ years– Caused hours of troubleshooting before identifying it as the source I would strongly advise using alternative solutions that are actively maintained.

In my case I need to redirect multiple URL, for example https://website.com/anypage/ to https://anotherwebsite.net/anypage/ This plugin only redirects to 1 URL, if you add that option I would definitely use it and give it a 5 star rating This topic was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by Jan Dembowski.

Perfect example of a narrow-use plugin that does a single task extremely well, without padding it out with lots of fluff. Like one of the other reviewers, I’d been struggling with a more well known and well used GEO redirection plugin with no luck. This one worked first time.

The plugin is very easy to setup it works straight out of the box. It is just what I need – thank you!
