Disqus Conditional Load

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 · 65% 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Older reviewers loved how much faster it made Disqus load, but the recent ones report ads injected without permission, a fatal error on the pro version, and support requests that go unanswered.

   Great plugin but I’ve just disabled it as it automatically inserted ads into my website – no idea when this occurred but I assume it’s been a long time. I’ve got it noted that I will never run adverts on my website, so this was extra frustrating. No options to disable the ads, either, and the pro version makes no mention of advertising being disabled once purchased.

   I feel grateful to see many plugins like this who offers resources that original plugins don’t give any importance. Disqus Conditional Load are a wonderfull plugin for his proposal, make pages load a lot better from the awfull (performance wise) original Disqus plugin. But all this going to the ground when you have some simple bugs that are asked in support thread that Author just ignore. This bugs makes pages prevents load faster… and this is not the main purpose of this plugin? Then all his (and ours) efforts to make this plugin works are for nothing… I feel really sad, that this absence from free plugins authors are everyday more present in WordPress community, making another CMS options everyday more interesting and better than the main WordPress objective. I really feel a great lack of responsibility and it’s very frustrating. Of course I will never buy a pro version of the plugin for any of my Agency client sites, I don’t feel any confidence that I will have any support in case of problems and will lose money… But it is interesting that anyone who asks for support here when mentioning the word PRO in the topics is answered. Those who don’t do this are ignored…

   Disqus Conditional Load is exactly what I was looking for. I use this to implement a Show Comments button in accordance with my theme.

   I purchased a pro license and the contact form always has an error when you attempt to get support even though I added the pro license key. Beware there is no support for the pro license even though the website claims it does have support. The plugin currently does not work and I have no support to fix it.
