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
No release in a yearHow 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

I’ve tried this out with Accelerated Domains and it works like a charm. Under the hood the code is really easy to understand and well written. Recommended.

Although this is a new plugin, it’s been developed and tested over several years and it shows. Dead simple user interface and does exactly what it needs to do with no fuss.

Kinda amazing how simply this just works with Cloudflare. Definitely use this if you have a pro plan.
