Elements Plus!

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 · 78% 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.

   hey, I just realised that this Gallery Plus! doesnt put any alt text (even if you have it fiiled up when you add picture into gallery) into the source code of the web page… All alt texts of all pictures in the gallery are empty!!!! WTF??? Please go to check your alt texts in the sourecode of your web pages – and you will see just: alt=”” … First I thought there was something wrong just with 1 page – so I checked all of them. NADA! NOTHING! not a single atl text in source code in this Gallery Plus! You all put 5-star rating and nobody has checked this first?
