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 year
from wp.org release tags

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.

    Simple CrazyEgg integration plugin. I use this on a number of websites.

    Somehow it slows down performance, and I don’t understand why or how that is, but otherwise it’s a great plugin. We ( https://maidsbytrade.com ) have it activated for a month or two at a time & then deactivate it, then re-activate it again when we want to re-study who’s following us.

    Had trouble integrating the code and wordpress plugin. Called customer service numerous times to no avail. The customer service line is not answered and days later I still have not received a phone call back. They do get back to you via email eventually. The plugin and service works well. Get this for the product. The customer service is mediocre at best.
