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.

Reviewers like how simple and tidy it is, it works on mobile too, and the walking animals are easy to tune, with one asking for more animation variety like sitting or sleeping.

   I have a very small website about adopting cats where I use this plugin. And one of the available icons is a cat. It can walk from left to right. Or right to left. From top to bottom. Or bottom to top. The icon is tiny, so it is just tiny fun bit, not a huge distraction. I love it. Gave it 4 out of 5 because there is something that could be better. The cat should sometimes stop to start washing themselves. Or go to sleep instead of only walking. That is not a criticism but a suggestion to make it better.
