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. acquisition value

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.

    Easy XML Sitemap is a powerful yet lightweight solution that generates comprehensive sitemaps for all public post types on my site. It handles images and video URLs beautifully and gives clear status details to confirm everything is working. Integration with WP-CLI and automated search engine pings are excellent for SEO. I appreciate how it respects other SEO plugins while still offering robust sitemap features. This plugin greatly improved our site’s crawlability and search visibility.
