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

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Thank you for this plugin! It makes sitemap setup incredibly easy and well-structured. The configuration is simple and intuitive, so even beginners can set everything up without any problems. I also really like the clean interface and smooth control options – everything is easy to find and manage. Overall, a great plugin that does exactly what it promises and saves a lot of time.

    This is a great plugin if you want to avoid constantly regenerating dynamic sitemaps, which can consume unnecessary server resources on larger or content-heavy websites. It provides a clean and practical way to generate static XML sitemaps. The plugin is straightforward, lightweight and does exactly what it promises. I also really appreciate the developer’s support. He responded personally, took the use case seriously and helped with a practical solution. Very useful plugin. Thank you for building it!
