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.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow 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
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.
