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.

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

Mixed PraisePerformanceCompatibilitySupport gone quiet

Reviewers who get it working love how cleanly it strips Google Fonts and the speed gains, while others say it did nothing on their theme, and it doesn't cover fonts pulled in via Google Maps or reCAPTCHA.

    Dommage car l’idée est très bonne mais l’installation du plugin n’a pas permi de supprimer l’appel aux google font de mon thème (Impreza).

    Was a bit hesitent to try it. But did. Some seconds to install and cleared cache. Redid the previous google page speed test and went from 80 mobile to 92 mobile. No google fonts loading. Great work. I even use a small not so popular theme for a community (bbpress, buddypress etc) – but the plugin handle it it seems. Thanks 🙂

    Nach Aktivierung werden weiterhin alle Google Fonts geladen. Leider auch keine Seite zur Überprüfung, was das Plugin nun gefunden und entfernt hat.
