Disable WP Sitemaps

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 · 97% 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 saying it does one simple job well, with no bloat and nothing to configure.

   Does exactly what it says on the tin, no bloat, no extraneous (and useless) features. It does one thing and it does that one thing perfectly. Love it.

   Always worry when something needs to be added to functions.php, because I know I’ll forget about it when a theme update rolls around. Thanks for this simple, and so useful, plugin! It just works. Cheers
