Disable Comments

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Reviewers keep calling it simple and quick to set up, with one dissenter arguing it's an extra layer of code loading on every request.

   I like how simple it is. So many plugins try way too hard.

   All it does is hook into the admin to hide comments control, and stop pages from displaying comments….basically another layer of code that has to be loaded and run for every single requests.
