Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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
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.

Recent review vibe

this plugin can be downloaded and installed, but not activated.You can attempt activation in both wp cli and in the plugins dashboard, but it still remains deactivated, and there are no messages or logs indicating the reason why it doesn’t activate. This topic was modified 2 years ago by sgpro.

Very nice to be able to push certain events to New Relic logs. I can even see Wordfence alerts and user logins coming in which is awesome!

Just came across the Perfops One Suite by chance and I have to say: Amazing! Well coded, well maintained and an amazing feature set. I wouldn’t run any of our projects without it anymore. We use it with Datadog as Logger and I am really impressed by acually every aspect. The Decalog SDK is a real gamechanger for plugin / theme development on your own platform when using Decalog. Thank you very much Pierre. This is one of the examples why WordPress and OpenSource rock 🙂

The debug log file was empty, and yet an error 500. I just install this plugin and he catches every call just before the crash, really simple to use, and very useful.

Clear, efficient and fully customizable plugin. Will certainly install it on all my new WP projects on dev/debug and prod site state.

As usual with Pierre’s plugins, the plugin is simple but powerful and does what it claims to do. As a website maintainer I clearly see the use of this plugin. This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by Laurent Naudier.
