Disable Customizer

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 · 100% run the current release. 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.

   If you ever want to remove this and get your customizer back there is no simple way. There are residuals left all over in other folders. Took my tech team 2 hours to find them all and I have over 10 sites with this. I can’t get any more support without big $. I am so so mad I ever installed this on my sites

   It is a very good plugin, if you need to completely remove/disable Customizer in WordPress. It removes “Customize” links from Dashboard and Admin Bar and also disables Customizer URL. Thanks for your work.
