DeBounce Email Validator

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 · 75% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Recent reviewers are happy with the plugin's validation and its Gravity Forms and multisite support, though a couple mention slow checks on less common domains and no reply from support.

   The option to validate the email, in WooCommerce in the checkout payment, does not work, I have even written several times and also sent a video so you can see the error.

   Fast for Public email but slow for other domains, example for: LIVE, GMAIL, HOTMAIL, YAHOO MAIL etc. takes about 4 seconds, but when comes to any other domains, the validation can take up to 10-20 seconds to validate. Thats my experience anywayzz. Works, but bit slow You get 100 free checks, BUT the paid plan is super cheap, minimum $10USD for 5000 checks and credits never expire. There’s other plans This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by Jaso. This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by Jaso.
