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.

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.

    Great plugin for keeping track of plugin activity on my WordPress site. I get instant email alerts whenever a plugin is activated, deactivated, or deleted. The file change monitoring feature is very useful and helps me quickly spot unexpected changes. The log viewer is clean, easy to use, and makes finding activity records simple. Easy to set up and works exactly as expected. Highly recommended!
