Easy Random Quotes

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 · 92% 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.

   Sometime you dont need a bunch of bells and whistles. Sometimes you need simple and concise. This accomplishes that. Easy to style too.

   It just works! Love it! The only “issue” I find is that upon refreshing (f5) the page where [erq] is found, quotes often double (i.e. appear back to back upon reload, THEN it switches to a random quote). Any chance that’s an easy fix? 🙂

   A great little plugin! I used to have random quotes on my old theme years ago but it got lost in the mists of time and updates. When I came across this I scoured my backups for my old quotes text file and simply imported all 108 quotes. Simple, really simple, and works well. Thank you. PS: An export function to csv or txt file would be a great addition.
