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.

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 lets you manage your robots.txt through the WordPress backend and adds some common configurations to improve your SEO. Very clean interface, easy to use. What else can you ask for? BTW: After updating your robots.txt configuration you may need to flush your server cache to see the changes.

    As a SEO specialist, I can say that this plugin is indispensable in everyday work. with it, I can quickly generate the desired file without unnecessary labor.it is convenient that there are different blocks for entering information for different search engines, since often different indexing rules may be relevant for different search engines.
